Book excerpt: A woman takes an impulsive leap—straight into the arms of an irresistible sheikh—in this steamy romance from the USA Today–bestselling author. Rosa Corretti cannot forget the one unguarded night she spent with Kulal, when she buried her disgrace beneath the seductive sighs of passion. Now this hard, demanding sheikh wants to control her! Rosa has been too good for too long and will not jump from one gilded cage to another—no matter how brightly it glitters . . . But Kulal has centuries of the desert in his blood and the more Rosa resists, the hotter it fires in his veins. As their passion burns through the tethers around his heart, will this arrogant sheikh accept this Corretti?
