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.
