Part of Series
In this reader favorite from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson, an arranged marriage is about to become a game of hearts… Johari Yasir has no interest in returning to her homeland to marry a man she’s never met—at least, not without sowing some wild oats first. And when a handsome charmer offers to whisk her away in his private plane, she impulsively accepts. Rasheed Valdemon is shocked that his bride-to-be would fly off with someone she barely knows—even though he’s the one doing the asking. More surprising is his hunger for this lovely, rebellious woman. But when she realizes she’s been seduced by the man who’s destined to be her husband, will their unexpected romance be destroyed by his deception? First published in 2010.
