THE TEDDY BEAR SHEIKH Prince Thamer Al-Sahib should be dead. The unwanted son of a desert King and a blonde British archaeologist, he survived his own family's assassination attempt at seven. He fled to the last place anyone would look for a Sheikh — Duluth, Minnesota. Now he's Thamer Stone. 31, 6'5, a teddy bear in a black wool coat hiding grey sweatpants. A ghost billionaire who owns half the canal but hides in the roped-off VIP table of his own bakery, INSHALLAH. Marie-Therese O'Connell is 26, red hair to her waist, a gym teacher and the youngest of four Irish kids trying to pay her father's $47,000 hospital bill. She's been a regular at his bakery for a year. He knows her order. She has no idea he exists. Until a blizzard field trip, a locked gaze in the mirror, and a man who walks past her like she's invisible — but orders extra marshmallows for "the cold one." He's running from something. She's desperate for a miracle.
