Plot Summary of The Sheik's Arranged Marriage
"Heidi couldn't wait to get back to El Bahar and begin studying up on the ancient writings of the country. Her plans were changed when the king of El Bahar insisted that she marry his son, Prince Jamal Khan. Heidi agreed, but only because she felt she owed the king everything. Neither Heidi nor Jamal expected their marriage to have anything to do with love. Heidi wanted her husband to love her after a while, and because of her many mistakes as a sexual person, she felt that the only way to do so was to become someone else. Jamal instantly saw through her disguise, but went along with it in order to make his wife happy. They then led a life full of sexual passion, love and fake deception, but they learned to trust each other and forget the mistakes of the past."
Corrie Andrianakos, Resident Scholar
