Marry the Don, Ethan Agostino…or be killed.
Sabrina
That was the choice given to me after I was caught snooping at Ethan’s family home under the guise of one of his party guests. I might have been dumb enough to think I could glean information from him to take back to my family—his mobster rivals—but I’m not completely brain-dead. I’ll marry the sadistic bastard and hope I’ll live to regret my decision.
Ethan
I can’t believe I’m marrying a woman who is a direct threat to my criminal kingdom. Not only is her family my rivals, they became my bitter enemy when they murdered my older brother. But then our rivalry goes way back. Little wonder my father wants her dead. Except there is something about her that thaws my frozen heart. I’ll keep her as my wife for as long as my fascination holds me in its grip, then I’ll discard her. And I will…eventually. Because if I don’t and my feelings for her grow, someone else will use her against me and kill her anyway.

A sheikh wishing for anonymity. A photographer wishing for great success.
As a freelance photographer Holly Petersen has never shied away from hard work and a little risk. But traveling alone in the desert in a clunky sedan definitely isn’t her best idea. Not when her car breaks down and she’s stranded on a goat track in the middle of nowhere with only sand dunes for company.
Until a ruffian on a camel appears from nowhere like an angel from heaven. A pity he’s no angel. He’s an inebriated devil who expects her complete obedience if she wants to be saved. And staying alone in the desert with little hope of rescue is too much of a risk, even for her.
Hamid Al Wahed was never meant to be the sheikh of his small but prosperous country. That had been his older brother’s life ambition before his sudden death thrust Hamid into the role of leader. Having an unlimited supply of booze and women might be its one saving grace, but even that doesn’t stop him from craving the solitude he needs by camping out in the desert.
It’s there that he stumbles upon a western woman with bright red hair, a death wish and no survival skills, and he realizes he craves even more from his life. And that more is Holly. But first he has to coax her into staying with the fake him…the anonymous savage she imagines he really is.

She chose to escape a future of tyranny. He has no choice but to take her as his wife.
Sheikha Yasmine Al-Fasih will do anything to escape her soon-to-be-arranged marriage to a vile man older than her father. If that means sleeping with esteemed guest—Sheikh Jamal Qadir—and forcing his hand in marriage, then so be it. Better to live with the mistrust of a fair man than to endure a life with a brutal despot.
Sheikh Jamal is grateful that his routine business trip to discuss trade with his neighboring country’s leader, Sheikh Zameer, is almost over. A quick overnight stay and he’ll be on his way. But on finding a blonde bombshell asleep in his bed all tiredness fades away. Zameer clearly knows Jamal’s taste in women.
When it turns out Yasmine is Sheikh Zameer’s virginal daughter—not one of his many harem women—Jamal is gutted. He’s been setup! Yasmine is forbidden fruit and he took a bite.
There is only one way now to repair the damage. He has to marry the girl. But it doesn’t mean he has to like her. A pity fate always finds a way to have the last laugh.

She's a commoner, he's a powerful sheikh. Will she ever be good enough?
Jazmina Fadel might be praised for her beauty and for being mistress to the powerful Sheikh Fayez Al-Khan, but she can’t ever forget she came from a broken and destitute family.
