Ancient law dictates that Sheikh Fatim Safar has to marry or be disinherited by his 30th birthday. Fatim isn’t worried—he married years earlier and had two children with his wife before she died. But there’s a catch: the law states he must be married at age 30. Two weeks from his 30th birthday, there’s no time to change it or fight it...it’s more expedient to marry. 

Calla Clark is out to prove her parents wrong. Instead of marrying well like her mother wanted, Calla’s in the Middle East to prove her design prowess. And what better way to do that then becoming seamstress for the royal family and getting to drape fabric over the sexy Sheikh’s rock-hard body. She can’t act on her temptations, of course. She’s got goals to crush. Still, when she watches the way the Sheikh commands his tribe, and cares for his kids, she can’t help but feel an undeniable attraction. 

Fatim has taken a liking to Calla, too. She’s smart, thoughtful, and good with his children. With his birthday right around the corner, Fatim offers her the position as his wife. It’s only temporary, and in return for marrying him and helping with his children, he’ll give her everything she needs for the upcoming Fashion Week. Calla agrees...so long as he helps keep her dream alive. 

With so many differences between them, Fatim and Calla’s powerful pairing could raise the tribe up to modern heights, or send it to the bin like last season’s cast-offs. 

This novel contains sexual content and profanity.

My Review  4 STARS
**My thanks to Hidden Gems and the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

I enjoyed this book, it has certainly been a while since i read a book with Sheikh's in and they usually run in a certain theme and this one was no different.

Calla started out as a really strong character until she has her son, then she seems to be so much more as just a mom to her son and bends to do anything as long as it helps her son.

Fatim as the only heir to the throne gets what he wants, but is not as portrayed by the media and Calla catches his eye.  He is otherwise just as expected, however he does fix his mistakes and they make a lovely couple.

We do not get an epilogue, however we do get a few chapters that are like epilogues further in the future to see how our pair and their family are getting on.
