Go undercover as the arranged bride of a Saudi prince with her three bodyguards. Once inside the palace, they will search for and find the deadly weapons.

Inside an opulent palace, danger and passion flare.

When a British educated Saudi Princess is finally asked to fulfil her arranged marriage, it coincides with a need to get within the palace to search for a biological weapon which was been traced to the palace. Yasmin looks enough like the princess to take her place and let her slip off with her true love, her bodyguard. With a need to take some kind of protection Yasmin enlists the help of some Navy SEALS and soon finds herself face to face with Ben. He may be a tough soldier but he will do what it takes to protect Yasmin, even if that means from herself. The story was good but I did cringe a bit at some of the whoopsies. No one here in the UK would ever call the police "Bobbies"! Whilst the story was a bit PC about not wanting to offend anyone it was still a good story. Ben was a doll and I loved him! Some of the expressions used during the sexy scenes were a bit cringy but really it can get a bit samey when you read as many books as I do. Yasmin also goes from all action hero to easily subdued female when Ben is about which was kind of disappointing. I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
