His duty, her dreams, undone by their desire...
In the male-dominated oil industry, executive Olivia McInnes plays a careful game - she's cold, uncompromising, and ambitious as hell. Once she seals the deal to drill in the clear waters of Saqat, she'll finally prove herself worthy to take the reins of her father's oil company. Her only obstacle is marine biologist - and Saqat's royal heir - Sheikh Khaled Ibm Saqat al Mayim, who's determined to protect both his people and his country from environmental devastation...
It's not long before Olivia's icy cool exterior is shattered by the intelligent and wickedly hot sheikh, and business is surpassed by sweet, stolen pleasures. But outside the bedroom, there's reality to be faced. Soon Khaled must return to his obligations - and his betrothed - in Saqat.
Caught between duty and ambition, can an oil tycoon and a sexy sheikh find room for love... or will this business deal spell disaster for them both?
Not my usual kind of book but something about the synopsis pulled me in and boy am I glad it did! For our Sexy Sheikh all I could picture was Oded Fehr from the mummy as Khaled and I completely fell in love with him. His sense of duty to his family and country, his love for the Persian Gulf and it's wildlife make a recipe for one luscious hero. Olivia is a oil executive and business woman to the extreme she needs Khaled to sign the deal to let her fathers company drill in his waters if she wants to make CEO. But the Sheikh being a marine biologist is not so easy to sign, plus he enjoys Olivia's company a bit to much. He makes Olivia jump through hoops and he spends allot of time seducing her. There are sparks, fireworks, and joy in their affair but their lives are so different. Khaled must serve his country, marry an appropriate Saqat woman, a Muslim woman. And all Olivia has dreamed of is becoming CEO of her fathers company and making her father proud. How can they be happy and conquer their dreams?
It was a wonderful romance with a touch of heat, highly recommended!
