Teresa Southwick. To Catch a Sheik. New York: Silhouette, 2003.
Practical-minded Penelope Doyle accepts an administrative job in the desert country of
El Zafir so that she can earn enough money to open a preschool back in the United States. She
was brokenhearted that the man with whom she was involved romanced her so he could
steel her seed money. After that humiliation, she vowed never again to pursue a fairy tale.
When she meets her new boss, handsome Rafiq Hassan, she finds a charismatic prince who makes her want
to believe in true love. She has a hard time believing that a man like Rafiq would look twice
at a plain American girl like herself, no matter how smart or talented she is. But when
he uses his seductive charm on her and kisses her, she fears that he is only toying with her
just as the previous jackal had done to her.
