This smoldering Sheikh needs a scandal...



Sheikh Faidh Qadir needs to create a scandal—something so shocking that the senior council will declare him unfit to rule. It's either that or marry a woman of the council's choosing and remain Sheikh for life—the two things he wants least in the world.

When Faidh learns that Mina, the palace's new pastry apprentice, is in his country illegally, he makes her a deal. Pretend to be his fiancée, help him create a scandal, and he'll make sure her exiled father is pardoned for his crimes. It's a simple arrangement. But the feelings she stirs in his heart are more complex than he could have imagined...

Mina Parks cannot believe she just agreed to a fake engagement. Faidh says the council will never accept Mina because her father is a notorious spy, and they'll remove him from the throne. But first they need to convince everyone that they're truly in love. Maybe all those public embraces and staged kisses were a little too convincing. Because Mina quickly starts to believe the fairy tale herself...

Are these two falling head over heels for real? Or is it all a cruel deception...
