Aly Percy is her family's ugly duckling, and she's never been allowed to forget it. So she knows better than to imagine that Cup Companion Arif al Najimi's blue gaze holds anything but contempt for her as a woman, or ever will. But if he's offering to show her just how wild one night with him can be, wouldn't she be a fool to turn down his charity? She may never get another offer like this one. Arif al Najimi isn't sure why he's dreaming about the little scientist who's so determined to take crazy risks for the sake of her research into the endangered turtles of his country. But as luck would have it, he's going to get the chance to do a little research of his own…into the question of why Aly believes her own negative publicity about how desirable she is—and how hard it will be to convince her of the truth.

The last man in the world Viola wants to beg for help is Prince Adal Harir ibn Muntazer al Hasib. He's the man she trashed in the gutter press seven years ago when their passionate affair ended, and she knows he's never forgotten. But now Adal, powerful Cup Companion to the Sultan of Bagestan, is the one man who can save her brother's life. Adal's willing to help—for a price. And Viola has to do whatever it takes. But will living in the sheikh's love nest really set Ben free, or is Adal using the opportunity to take revenge? He wants Viola in his bed again, too. If Viola doesn't resist, will their loving only add heartbreak to the public humiliation he has in store for her?
