Maya Kapoor’s life is turned upside down when she learns that her late grandfather arranged her marriage to a powerful foreign sheikh. The deal was struck long before she was even born, and Maya, a fiercely independent woman, is determined to annul it. But when she agrees to meet Sheikh Zayed Al-Fahim, she quickly realizes that he is not the cold, distant man she expected. Zayed is a man of deep tradition, one who believes that what is promised must be honored. He has no interest in marriage for the sake of it, but once an engagement is made, he will not back down. If Maya is meant to be his, she is his—no exceptions. In his opulent desert palace, where power and passion collide, Maya’s resolve is tested. Zayed is relentless, a man whose icy exterior conceals a deep, burning conviction that no one will ever question his authority. But beneath the tension, there is something neither of them can deny: an undeniable attraction that grows stronger with every passing day. Will Maya escape the desert unscathed, or will the Sheikh’s unyielding will and cold charm be the very thing that captures her heart?
