It was time to sell. One by one, her life was falling apart. That’s when Hayden accepted that she’d have to sell her farm and move on. Unfortunately, the only offer she had was from a man she hated. Just one month ago, she’d told him that she wouldn’t sell her land to him. Wasn’t it funny (horrible!) how life played games? Viktor thought that the lovely garden nursery owner was amazing. So when she’d come back to him with an offer to sell her land to him, he wasn’t buying. Nope – he offered marriage instead. When the lovely lady quickly rejected his offer, he decided it was time to show her that he was serious. As a man always in charge, he was determined to get his way on this negotiation. Little did he know that Hayden wasn’t one to give in so easily.

Katia’s father was evil. With her mother’s help, she’d escaped his home and learned to live on her own, hiding, her life revolving around secrecy so her father wouldn’t find her. Everything was fine, until the day Sergei walked into her coffee shop. In that moment, her life turned upside down. But she soon discovered that this tall, scary man with the scarred face wasn’t here to bring her back to her father. He was here to…marry her? Yes – a marriage to this man would stop her father’s cruelty. She had to do it! Katia wasn’t what Sergei was expecting. She was sweet and kind and beautiful…and stronger than he would have realized. Not to mention brilliant and creative. Together, they would stop her father. What he also hadn’t anticipated…falling in love with his enemy’s daughter.

Arianna had to find her father. He’d disappeared in the desert country of Triar – which is where she started her search. Unfortunately, some unfinished business with the Sheik of Triar slowed her search. Rhys Sabad del Isolm, Sheik of Triar discovered that the lovely Arianna Callas was back in his country. The last time he’d seen the gorgeous, stubborn woman was almost a year ago and their ending had been … unsatisfying. Time to change that ending. Except that Arianna isn’t ready to re-visit the past. In fact, she’d like to avoid discussing the past and had absolutely no intention of any sort of relationship in the future! Unfortunately, Rhys had the resources that could expedite her father’s rescue. She’d have to play nice for a while – and keep the man at arm’s distance. That was her intention at least. Rhys wasn’t really the kind of man who allowed distance. And as they investigated her father’s disappearance together, Arianna wondered if she really wanted that distance.
