MAN OF TWO WORLDS
Prince Kumar Ben Ari was as much at home with the fast-paced ways of the West as he was among the tribes of the desert kingdom he ruled. But when it came to women, he preferred them old-fashioned --- until he met a thoroughly modern, thoroughly delectable, thoroughly American woman, and knew he had to have her, whatever the cost.
Josie McCall didn't appreciate the way this arrogant sheikh had manipulated her into coming to his homeland. Whatever he thought, she couldn't be bought --- not for all the oil in the Middle East. And yet there was something about this man --- some timeless power that seemed to call to her unwilling soul.
