She betrayed him once. He'll never let her go again...

Sheikh Zavian bin Ameen Al Rasheed learned early never to trust anyone. But Gabrielle was different—or so he thought. When she accepted his father's bribe to leave him and his country, Zavian was left shattered, furious, and consumed by an obsession he couldn't shake.

Gabrielle never wanted to leave. Raised by her eccentric grandfather in the deserts of Taraq, she loved Zavian—and his homeland—deeply. But she also knew the truth: Zavian was destined to be King, and tradition demanded he marry a Bedouin bride. Accepting the bribe was the only way to protect him from choosing her, and the only way to protect her own heart.

A year later, as Zavian's arranged marriage looms, he uncovers a secret: a priceless national treasure has been anonymously returned to Taraq, bought for the exact sum of the bribe Gabrielle received. Convinced she is behind it, Zavian seizes the chance to reclaim her—purchasing her services from her university under the guise of duty.

If she can't be his wife, then she'll be his mistress. But as passion flares and old wounds resurface, Zavian and Gabrielle must face the truth of the past—and decide whether love can overcome betrayal.

An emotional, scorching sheikh romance of obsession, betrayal, forbidden love, and redemption, perfect for fans of alpha heroes and second-chance passion.
