But with her grandmother's passing, a world of opportunity opens to her--if only she has the courage to seize it. Publicly, Malik al-Saud is a wealthy, spoiled jet setter, but behind the scenes, he works hard at his vocation. Secretly a best-selling author, Malik struggles to keep his work separate from his playboy reputation--and above all, stay out of his disapproving father's way. They've been getting to know each other through his cousin and her best friend. Now, finally, it's time for them to meet. It doesn't take long for friendship to turn to more--but when Malik's family issues interfere, things get ugly. Can they manage these unexpected complications? Dani fears that Malik's lifelong antagonism with his family is insurmountable.
