Royal heir Zadir Al Kilanjar is determined to woo renowned architect Veronica Baxter to his homeland of Ubar to design his palace-and become his wife. Ronnie first met Zadir when their plane crashed in the Empty Quarter (Desert Kings - Veronica - Stranded with the Sheikh) and she hasn’t been able to get the seductive sheikh out of her mind. With her career in high gear and her heart surrounded by more stone walls than her projects, she’s resolved to resist Zadir’s advances-but he’s just as determined to win her.
