When Sheik Tarik Oman stormed into wedding consultant Carolyn Evans's office to plan his sister's wedding, he found a virginal beauty exquisite enough to be a bride herself. But distractions were out of the question at this crucial time for his family's oil empire: No wedding, no merger. Business, that's all this was.

Though Tarik's domineering ways reminded her of the controlling men in her past, Carolyn fell for this sheik's regal bearing. Planning a wedding with Tarik made her feel... special. Until she discovered it was a business arrangement. Well, weddings were Carolyn's business, and she was just the woman to teach Tarik how to accept love... as a lifelong commitment.
