Defying Her Desert Duty — Annie West

Chained by silk and jewels

Across the bustling nightclub, bodyguard Zahir El Hashem watches his latest charge swaying temptingly on the dance floor, his pulse quickening. Returning the Princess to her bridegroom might not be such a simple operation after all… Soraya Karim has always known one day she must resume her royal obligations -- just not so soon! Clinging to the last shreds of her freedom, Soraya insists they take the long way back to Bakhara -- and their attraction reaches a dangerous fever pitch… Once they reach the gates of the palace such a liaison will be utterly forbidden. From then duty must reign…

"Annie West never disappoints! So evocative and full of drama and tension throughout. A classic romance." -- Abby, Author, Dublin
