“Masterful storyteller Gin Coleman has done it again with another thrilling entry into the Desert Born series, imbedding it with her usual wit and charm.” —Lori O’Brien
Some destinies are written in the stars—others are forged in the fire of the desert.
As the princess and beloved daughter of her tribe, Adara al-Az’im believes she will be the next sheikh of her desert kingdom—but no one else does. Princesses become sheikhas, wives of sheikhs. Whoever she marries will rule her kingdom. That doesn’t stop Adara.
Fiery and independent, she can ride, shoot, and fence like a man and has no plans of marrying one, especially not her childhood friend, Prince Jabari al-Nur. Then she meets Captain Casey Bender, a veteran American bomber pilot and former Montana horse rancher who turns her world upside down.
As she fights for her right to rule in an increasingly unfamiliar world, her dream becomes a nightmare when she runs afoul of Lord Randall Wentworth, a British major general who will stop at nothing to take control of her kingdom for its oil resources. Help comes from the one man she is trying to avoid—Casey.
Join Adara on her journey as she faces her greatest challenge in this thrilling installment of the Desert Born.
