Sold...to a gorgeous desert prince! It was bad enough being hauled out of bed by palace guards. Now Victoria McCallan had just offered to pay off her father's gambling debts – with herself as the prize! So the palace secretary was shocked when sexy Prince Kateb made her a counteroffer...

But Kateb's heart was telling him to claim Victoria as his woman – now and forever.
