A prince wary of love, a substitute bride with a secret, and a palace charade where passion rewrites every rule.
Sheikh Malik Hourani, Crown Prince of Bha'Khar, is a rich and powerful man dedicated to ruling his kingdom—but experience has made him wary of love. Burned in the past by an ambitious schemer, he guards his heart fiercely, determined that his marriage will be strictly a matter of royal duty.
Beth Farrah has been betrothed to the sheikh since birth, but she has a secret! She's not the woman he thinks she is…. Spirited teacher Alina only took her identical twin sister's place to protect her family, but one glance from the handsome sheikh scrambles all her best-laid plans!
Talking a proud ruler out of a royal contract seemed manageable from afar—until his devastating charm and tender kisses melt every defense she brought to Bha'Khar.

- Royal Romance: Between private flights to Paris and high-stakes state banquets, a strictly practical match turns dangerously personal.
