In her entire life, Sabeen al-Mujaher has only ever loved one man—Sheikh Khalil al-Aziz—but when he cruelly breaks her heart and walks away, she builds a wall around her heart and vows to never let any man inside ever again.
In his entire life, Khalil a-Aziz has only ever loved one woman, but when he learns that Sabeen is betrothed to his cousin, he has no other choice but to end their secret affair and walk away from her forever. It kills him to lose her, and every day that he has to watch her with his cousin, knowing that she is the one woman in the world he can never have, it is like a slow death over again.
But when fate gives them another chance together, Khalil will stop at nothing to win Sabeen back, and with it her heart, love and trust—except that Sabeen has absolutely no desire to be won back. Yet when Khalil takes his cousin’s place, and Sabeen finds herself not only betrothed to the man she despises, but ultimately married to him, she knows it is only a matter of time before Khalil breaks through all of her defenses, forces her surrender and steals her heart—or rather he will try. Still wounded by the past, Sabeen is resolute—Khalil will have to be content with the surrender of her body, because she will never cede to him her heart.
Now a master dominant, Khalil is not the same immature youth Sabeen once loved. Where he’d once been content to dominate her sexually, that all changed after he lost her. Having spent so many years, tormented by the knowledge she would never be his, Khalil’s primal needs will only be satisfied with Sabeen’s complete submission. So despite Sabeen’s obstinacy, Khalil is undeterred, because he will not stop until he fully claims the woman he loves—and this time around Khalil’s possession of Sabeen will be nothing less than absolute…
