His sinful desert seduction ... Sheikh Ilyas al-Razim was born to be King. He won't let anything stand in his way - especially not the waitress daring to think she can blackmail him! It's his duty to protect his family's honour - even if that means taking impossibly stunning Maggie Delaney as his hostage ... Beneath the starlit skies of Zayrinia's desert, defiant Maggie convinces Ilyas she is innocent of his accusations. No longer his prisoner, Maggie is free to return home ... yet now she's held captive by their smouldering raw desire! Dare she surrender to the pleasure this desert Prince promises? Book 1 in the Royal Ruthless Sheikhs duet.
