One summer in Italy changed her life forever. Now, her secret is about to be unmasked. Amethyst St. Clair has everything she needs: a wealthy family, a beautiful life, and a son she would do anything to protect. But for years, one question has haunted the tabloids: Who is the father? Her cunning grandfather has already successfully played matchmaker for two of her sisters, and Amethyst knows she's his next target. To escape his pressure, she agrees to one last business trip to Italy. She expected a professional meeting. She didn't expect to come face-to-face with Franco Calvetti. He is still as gorgeous as the summer they met. Franco is now more powerful and more dangerous than ever. He's the man who broke her heart, and the one mistake she swore she'd never repeat. But as the spark between them reignites, Amethyst is terrified: What will the ruthless Italian prince do when he discovers the son she's been hiding for years?

She's the world's most famous face. He's the only man who can see right through her. Supermodel Emerald St. Clair has it all: fame, fortune, and a jet-setting life most would kill for. With her three sisters now happily married thanks to their meddling grandfather, Emerald is the last one standing-and she's determined to keep it that way. She makes a deal with the devil: one final photoshoot for St. Clair Diamonds in the exotic sands of Saqr, and her grandfather will finally stop breathing down her neck about marriage. But when a series of disasters leaves her stranded in the desert, her only hope is the one man she can't stand. Khalil Al-Farsi is powerful, arrogant, and Emerald's oldest rival. Now, she's at his mercy, and in the heat of the desert, the line between hate and desire is starting to disappear.
