Sheikh Suliman El Khazir was a powerful man and used to getting what he wanted, and what he wanted was for Beth to be his desert bride! Despite her growing attraction, all Beth’s instincts told her to resist. They were worlds apart — she was an independent woman and he wanted a wife who would obey his every whim. But then he kidnapped her and, alone with the sheikh, Beth was finding it increasingly difficult not to surrender to her desert destiny.
