But it was, perhaps, Lexi who stole the show when, halfway through the official ceremony, she fell asleep. Syed simply lifted her into his arms and cradled her against his chest as the event continued.
The photo was everywhere the next day; the Sehikh had found his family and the Kingdom had fallen in love right alongside him.

PROLOGUE
“I have no intention of marrying her.”
Ash stared at his cousin Syed long and hard. Only four months separated them in age – they were more like twins than cousins. But in some ways they were at odds.
“Your father wishes it,” Ash pointed out, sipping his coffee and taking in the view of the Old City. It spread in all directions; beautiful, ancient, glorious. Beyond it were the desert plains that surrounded Kalastan, and in the far distance, the ocean. Across that sea was the Kingdom of Falina and Syed’s intended bride.
“My father wishes peace with Falina. Falina wishes peace with us. The marriage is unnecessary where both rulers are minded for harmony.”
Ash placed his cup down slowly. “How long have you been preparing that little speech?”
Syed made a sound. “Come on! You know I’m right.”
Ash grinned. “What I know is that I have the betrothal papers here. I’m expected in Falina tonight. Do you want me to cancel? To avoid going?”
“No, that won’t work,” Syed shook his head. “I am sick of delays. I want this matter settled once and for all.”
“So? What do you suggest?”
Syed’s smile showed that he’d given the matter a lot of thought. “I don’t know much of Charlotte. I’ve met her only once.”
