      A Chatsfield Scandal!

      Journalist Sophie Parsons needs a scoop to stop the sale of her friend’s hotel chain. And she’s found it! But being abducted by a sheikh goes way beyond the call of duty...

      Sheikh Zayn Al-Ahmar has a wedding to arrange, a sister to protect and a country to rule. He’s not going to let one woman bring it all down with a headline! Kidnapping Sophie seemed like a good idea, but soon her delectable company puts everything he values at risk.

      Only one mistress can rule Zayn’s heart—will it be Sophie, or his duty?

      Welcome to The Chatsfield, New York!

       ‘I’m working on something that concerns the Chatsfield family,’ Sophie said finally.

      ‘Clearly not something they would be very happy about.’

      ‘Well, probably not. But I can see you’re not one of their fans. It should please you to know that I’m not a big fan of the Chatsfields either. And I don’t think they necessarily deserve the somewhat pristine reputation they seem to have cultivated recently.’

      ‘So what is it you’re after?’ asked Sheikh Zayn Al-Ahmar. ‘A scandal.’

      ‘Of course. I should’ve known you were after a scandal. What good reporter isn’t?’

      Unfortunately, she was very close to a scandal. One that would involve his family, his sister. One that would be unacceptable to have out in the open.

      ‘Well, exactly.’

      ‘And you know that I’m not James’s biggest fan?’

      ‘Well, clearly not. As he seems to have got involved with your sister.’

      And just like that he realised that, whatever else she knew, she knew too much. With an entire newspaper to back her, she would be giving information to interested parties, who would do much more digging than he would like done.

      ‘Yes, indeed.’

      And just like that he realised he had made his decision. He leaned forward and pressed the intercom button on the partition between the back seat and the front seat.

      ‘We are not going back to the hotel. We will be going straight to the airport.’

       CHAPTER ONE

      SHEIKH ZAYN AL-AHMAR had many regrets in his life. The kind of regrets that reached into the darkness in the middle of the night, and tried to strangle him while he slept. The kind of regrets that followed him all through the day, and informed his every action; constant reminders of why he’d had to leave the old version of himself behind, and become something entirely different.

      But however pressing his past regrets might be,
