With a client list hotter than the Zubran desert, wedding planner Avery Scott shouldn't be surprised that her latest client is Crown Prince Malik of Zubran--the man who once lit her body on fire...before steamrollering over her heart.

Determined to ignore Malik's lethal charm, Avery makes a very personal not-to-do list:

1. Not being Malik's intended, our relationship must remain 100 percent professional.

2. His arranged bride might have run away, but I mustn't distract him--for the kings of Zubran, duty always comes first.

3. However luxurious the Bedouin tent--and smoldering the tension--pride dictates the touch I crave stays strictly forbidden.
