It was supposed to be a 72-hour mission, in and out, until Brandt Stryker got stranded in the arid African plains with predators before him, a killer at his heels and an exotic princess by his side. Dalilah Al Arif stirs his blood, makes him crave things he'd lost long ago-but she is off-limits, promised to a sheik.
Dalilah's wedding contract stipulates she must wed before her 30th birthday-just months away. It's a duty she accepts.

And as the terrorists close in, she fears the most dangerous creature in the savannah is Brandt himself....
