Zoya Al Fayez was never supposed to be seen. Not really. She is the hidden heiress of a family powerful enough to ruin lives and dangerous enough to make sure no one ever knows she belongs to them. Then one night on her brother’s yacht, everything goes wrong. A betrayal. A locked door. A stolen invitation. Zoya runs. Straight into Raiyan Al Mansoor. The same man she once crashed into at Heathrow, spilled coffee on, insulted, and never expected to see again. Raiyan doesn’t rescue women. He definitely doesn’t rescue women who show up at his door with no luggage, too many secrets, and nowhere else to go. But he takes one look at Zoya and gets her out anyway. That should have been the end of it. It isn’t. Because Zoya is promised to another man. Because Raiyan has never been the kind of man who asks for permission. And because every time she tries to put distance between them, something pulls them right back into each other’s path. She is trying to build a life that finally belongs to her. He is becoming dangerously attached to a woman he was never supposed to keep. And somewhere between stolen moments, family secrets, jealousy, and a love neither of them planned for, Zoya realizes the most dangerous thing she ever did wasn’t running away. It was running to him. Some doors, once you walk through them, never let you go back.
