The Sheikhs of Sharjah…Arrogant, wealthy, and dominant, the Sheikhs of Sharjah will stop at nothing to get what they desire, especially when it comes to claiming their women. Captive of the Sheikh In just thirty-eight years, Joselyn MacGregor feels as if she has seen and done it all. Married and a mother by eighteen, widowed just four years later. She struggled to put herself through college and then law school, raise her daughter, and climb the ladder of success as an officer in the Navy. Between all of that she had no time for men or relationships, but now that her daughter is in college and she's retired from the military, she decides maybe it's about time for her to change that.While attending intelligence training in Abu Dhabi, Joselyn is surprised to find herself drawn to one of the instructors, especially since he's none other than Malik al-Aziz, the wealthy, playboy, hotshot intelligence officer and pilot in Sharjah's Air Force. Known as much for his sexual conquests on his off time as he is for his accolades in the service, Joselyn thinks it's a perfect idea to reenter the dating waters by first having a purely sexual, one night stand, and who better than with the notorious womanizer, Malik. Malik al-Aziz is good at his job and not ready to settle down, nobody can blame him for that. And despite his reputation, he's never once left a broken heart in his wake, because he's always been careful to keep company with women who are of like mind. So when Joselyn gives him the same line he's given women all these years—sex with no strings—he doesn't hesitate to agree. After all, he's had his eye on the voluptuous, chocolate beauty since the day they arrived in Abu Dhabi. But after a long, unending night of the best sex they both admit they've ever experienced, he doesn't expect to wake up to an empty bed, with not even so much as a note. Malik tells himself he's cool with everything, until he sees Joselyn a few months later, hoping to share another fun night with the American beauty.But, instead of another good time together, Joselyn is adamant about the state of their affair—and him. Malik is exactly what she's not looking for in a man. And as for their night together? Well, it was a mistake, and because of that, it would be a one-time event, never to happen again. As much as he knows she's wrong about him, and despite that his dominant nature demands he claim the only woman who has ever made him actually want to give up all other women, Malik has no choice but to let Joselyn go. Convincing himself he can live without her; Malik actually believes it until an intelligence operation goes wrong and Joselyn is kidnapped and dragged into the seedy underbelly of Abu Dhabi's pleasure industry. Using his connections and influence, Malik enters the dark, twisted world of the playground to the rich, with the intention of bringing Joselyn home safely. But in order to do that he must first convince those who now hold her prisoner that he is the hedonist dominant they've all heard about. And to save Joselyn's life he's going to have to make her his captive submissive—whether she wants to be or not.Deep within the secret pleasure palaces of Abu Dhabi's sexual playground, Malik will usher Joselyn into his world of dark, carnal possession—where neither one of them will walk away unscathed.
