Sheikha Arabelle only wants to live a normal life in England on her own terms, with her strict Middle Eastern heritage a distant memory. Then her only brother dies in a freak accident, leaving her father and their country of Lumana vulnerable. Until her father secures an arranged marriage between Arabelle and Mahindar, the celebrated Sheikh of Rajhabi. But although she is forced to marry Mahindar, her husband can never force her to love him…no matter his wealth, his good looks and his skill in bed.
