The all-powerful Sheikh Tamir Al'ani of the desert kingdom Talidar falls head over heels in lust for Olivia Anderson the moment he sees her. She's beautiful, to be sure, but it's more than that. There's a magical quality to her that has him captivated. Unfortunately, she's also the one person on Earth who seems determined to resist his plans.
But he'll stop at nothing until he has her. Fate and destiny provide Tamir with the perfect way to change her mind. An honourable man, he's surprised by the lengths he's willing to go to in order to get Olivia into his bed... even marriage!
He lies to her and blackmails her, and still Olivia can't resist the powerful attraction that exists between her and Tamir. Worse than that, once Olivia sees another side to her would-be captor, she realises there's so much more to him than just the powerful King of a mystical Kingdom. Now, her worry isn't that he won't let her go, but that one day, he will, and she'll have to learn to live without him.
