The Sheikh's Crown — Leslie North

Is love more precious than wealth? Shiekh Adil is the youngest of the three brothers of the wealthy Khalidizack family, and notorious for his playboy ways. The womanizer seems the least likely brother to marry after the high-stakes wedding bet with Shiekh Rameez. When the family entrusts him with a thankless job -- supervising the loan of their art and jewels to the Louvre -- he reluctantly accepts. It seems like a chore, until he meets the feisty woman who changes everything. Samine Isme is a journalist covering the Louvre loan. Brilliant and independent, she has a cool exterior that Adil finds utterly entrancing. But the closer they get, the more he suspects Samine has motives that go beyond attraction. With the sudden theft of the Khalidizack collection on its way to the museum, they'll have to work together to restore the treasures to their rightful place. In a race across Europe tracing stolen antiquities, an old enemy emerges to settle a score. Now, Adil must face the threat to save his family's honor and avoid his own disgrace, but can he trust that the woman he loves is really on his side?
