Jasmine Hasir is partying hard at Princeton when stern-faced Raj Ben Hajad shows up to take her home...back to Morocco. Her great-grandfather, "Grandgramps", has just suffered a stroke and her parents have sent Raj to escort her back to her homeland.

Concerned about her beloved Grandgramps, Jasmine eagerly returns to Morocco to see him...and soon finds herself drawn to the tall, darkly handsome Raj. When Grandgramps insists on the entire family accompanying him on a trip into the desert, Jasmine agrees to go. As does Raj.

After a dangerous sandstorm, she and Raj are drawn even closer, but they truly discover their love for each other when she is abducted by the evil tribesman, Ali al-Hameen, who is intent on keeping her as his woman. Raj manages to find her and bravely rescue her from this undesirable fate.

But what could the future possibly hold for Jasmine and Raj? She has no desire to robe and veil herself as a "proper" Moroccan wife, and she knows that Raj would expect nothing less from his bride. Will the two lovers be able to meet halfway and share a future?
