The Sheik's Promise

Finding a husband was a royal pain in the neck!


It's even harder when one is constantly under the scrutiny of the media, recording all of her facial expressions.  Was it her fault when one of her prospective husbands made a stupid comment and the paparazzi captured her stunned/horrified/amused facial expressions? 


So when her brother suggested a guy, Princess Oreylia al-Bodari grabbed at the opportunity to get out of the spotlight.  But had she jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire?


Sheik Ritton Odenton of Quarati was in need of an heir.  In order to produce an heir, one needed a wife.  Ritton had heard that Princess Oreylia was looking for a husband.  Why not just form an alliance?


At the first sight of the beautiful Princess Oreylia, all thoughts of business and political alliances went out the window.  He wanted HER! 


Now he just had to convince her to take a chance.
