Penny Jordan. The Sheikh's Virgin Bride. New York: Harlequin, 2003.
Petra finds herself betrothed to rich eligible Sheikh Rashid of Zuran--a man she has never
even met. With her passport taken by her godfather, and her extended Middle Eastern family bent on the idea
of a marriage between her and Rashid, Petra feels trapped. To get herself out of the situation, she
hatches a scheme to ruin her reputation so that the Sheikh won't want to marry her.
To carry out the plan, Petra enlists
the help of a fellow guest at her hotel, Blaize, to pretend he is her lover. But soon after he
takes her virginity, Petra makes the shocking discovery that Blaize is none other than the man
she is supposed to be marrying! This man of honor tells her it is his duty to salvage her
reputation and marry her, but Petra wonders whether or not his proposal is based on love....or
merely obligation.
