Victoria Ballard, a New York financial executive, is one woman who considers men to be an unnecessary bother and annoyance. With her career on track, she focuses on the adoption of four beautiful orphans, a crowning completion of her well-designed life-plan. But, life is a nasty trickster, and it’s about to spring one on her.
Unknown to Victoria, PRINCE RASHID DAVAR has just completed a marriage contract with her father. However, what the Prince does not realize is that it is easier to marry a woman than it is to control one. She may be his wife, but it will take a kidnapping, a battle of wills, and some desert heat of his own before he can claim her love.

Be this known: Victoria Chantal Ballard and Prince Alif Benhamin Rashid Davar consent to become Husband and Wife...
Victoria locked her eyes on the purple flush streaking up her father’s neck. She recognized the stubborn tightening of his jaw, and her mind thrashed about looking for clarification to this bizarre situation.
The papers slid from her hand and scattered about her feet. In an explosive move, she leaned across her father’s desk.
“What is this? How did this happen?” With hindsight, she knew exactly when her father had rushed her into signing those pages.
