After their wedding, he takes her to his desert homeland of Jawhar to introduce her to his family. But it is there that Catherine discovers that their union was no love match--he bought her as part of a business deal with her father.
Angry and humiliated, Catherine's first thought is to leave...but how can she leave behind the man she has already fallen in love with?
