The Sheikh's Royal Widow

He's running from the past. She's afraid to face the future. Can they create a perfect today?
Princess Takisha Hakim never thought she'd desire another man again. Not after Sheikh Fayez's rejection, and certainly not after her sick and depraved marriage to Sheikh Arif. She's learned the hard way that wealth and power comes at a cost and accepts she doesn't deserve to be loved. Then she sees gardener, Akeem Al-Dagher, and all her doubts fade away. Perhaps a commoner is just what she needs?
Akeem Al-Dagher enjoys his simple life as a gardener. For the most part, hard, physical labor drowns out the memories of his past and helps him to forget about his family and the brutal war that made him the hero he never wanted to be. He might have been a killer in the past, but nurturing plants soothes his black soul. A pity his life gets complicated the moment the princess begins to take a personal interest.
He doesn't belong in her world anymore…does he?
