      He’s an investigator on a mission, but it’s impossible to ignore the brilliant woman helping him complete it…

      His sister’s life is at stake, and despite his wealth and power, Sheik Emir Al-Nassar feels helpless. At least heading his family’s security agency provides him with resources to track down her kidnappers. But when the ace profiler he’s sent turns out to be K. J.—Kate—Gelinsky, Emir is furious. Finding the kidnappers’ desert hideout is dangerous enough without the distraction of a beautiful woman.

      But K.J. is unlike any woman he’s ever known. Her fearlessness and incisive mind inspires Emir’s admiration. And her compassion breaches his guarded heart. Still, rescuing his sister is a perilous mission. And allowing desire to cloud his focus could endanger them all.

      “You’re the new agent?”

      Emir’s words were heavy with disbelief. “You’re the one Adam recommended?”

      “Yes,” Kate said. “I’m K.J.…”

      “This won’t work.”

      “By this, you mean me?” She took a step forward. Now she was in his face.

      “That’s what you meant, wasn’t it? I’m not a man so…” She left the remainder of the sentence hanging.

      “You need to get on the first flight home,” he said through clenched teeth.

      “Give me a chance.”

      “It’s not me that’s the problem.”

      “I know,” she interrupted. “It’s the customs, the tribes outside the city, the…”

      “It won’t work.”

      “Look, I know what I’m getting into. I’m qualified. I specialized in Middle Eastern studies—an exchange student. I’ll help you find your sister. You just need to trust me.”

      Marrakech, Morocco

      Monday, September 14, 5:54 a.m.

      The first haunting notes of the call to prayer seemed troubled, almost off-key, when usually the melodious sound wove through the predawn stillness, beckoning with an easy allure not unlike the nimble fingers of the weavers in the casbah who wove the many rugs sold to the tourists. Like the rugs, the ancient chant was as much part of the rhythm of life and the fabric of Marrakech as was the still night-shrouded skyline. But today, in a mansion hidden in the depths of palatial grounds and secured by the most current technology and the best in security guards, the simple power of the timeless notes not only felt off, they were lost in the guttural roar that sounded more wounded beast than man.

      Emir Al-Nassar crushed the pen in his right hand. On the desk, the smartphone lay where he had thrown it, the blue protective cover fractured, the crack running through the Blue Jays’
