The Sheikh’s Contract Bride by Teresa Southwick
Brothers of Bha’Kahr series, Harlequin Romance #3957 June 2007.
Beth arrives in the Kingdom of Bha’Khar to meet Crown Prince Sheikh Malik Hourani- only he thinks she's her identical twin Adina, his bride to be!!
Adina needed time to prepare before going through with the arranged marriage, so Beth goes instead. No one could have guessed that Beth and Malik would develop a relationship, much less deep feelings for one another.
When Adina arrives and tells Malik the truth- honor and tradition set the pace, for he knows he has to honor the plans set by his family. Eventually he realizes he'd rather give up the throne than the woman he loves! Thankfully his father is the king and together they set forth a new law- allowing the crown prince to choose his own bride.
"Don't be afraid; just believe." Luke 8:50
