Books like Lord of the Desert by Barbara Faith
In the sun‑baked kingdom of Kashkiri, Genevieve Jordan, a determined public‑relations executive, is sent to help organize an important economic conference led by the hard‑fisted desert lord Ali Ben Hari. Their meeting brings together two contrasting worlds: the polished, modern West and the ancient, traditional East. While their differing opinions and customs create friction, a complex and unanticipated attraction blooms amid the dunes.
As the conference unfolds, Genevieve must navigate Ali’s stone‑age viewpoints and the political intricacies of the region, all while recognizing that the desert’s harsh beauty and the country’s vibrant culture may hold more than just economic value.

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.
