Thrust on stage and sold to the highest bidder, He bought her for a week, but they might just be together forever… When Lauren offers herself up as the prize lot in her company’s charity auction—complete with a legally binding contract—she thinks it’s all a bit of fun. Her gorgeous, Middle Eastern buyer, however, seems to think otherwise… Sheikh Hakim Khalif has a dastardly plan: buy the “services” of his hated rival’s daughter and have her do his bidding for an entire week. After all, what better way to humiliate his nemesis than to make her daughter his personal slave? In service to her “Master”, Lauren begins unpicking the reasons for her mother’s hatred of Hakim, soon discovering a caring and charismatic man behind all the big-business bluster. Her attraction to him only grows in the knowledge that it’s forbidden, and when her mother inevitably finds out, all hell breaks loose! With passions flaring under the most unlikely of circumstances, the Sheikh finds a strong and feisty lover that is his equal and more. Will he convince her that he’s more than his reputation, and will they convince her mother? This is a story about love, family, and the ties that bind us together…. This is a Sheikh romance novel from best-selling author Holly Rayner. It contains a guaranteed HEA, and a tale of romance that will capture your heart.
