The coveted Heart of Courage jewel--when passed to each sheikh in the House of Kazeem Khan--is said to guarantee love. But Sheikh Zahir rejects this legend. After the bitterness he's suffered, he sees emotion and marriage as two very separate things and orders the jewel be sold!

It's down to historian Gina Collins to handle the rare artifact. Returning to the desert plains of Kabuyadir, she is horrified to realize her mysterious new client is the man who gave her one earth-shattering night years ago.

Could there be truth in the legend after all...?
