Determined to save her older sister from another arranged marriage, Princess Nicolette Ducasse refuses to allow her widowed sister to go through the wedding to Sultan Malik Roman Nuri of Baraka. With a plan in mind, Nicolette travels to Baraka pretending to be her sister, with the idea that she'll go there, meet the King, and try to back out of the agreement, only to find that she only has two weeks to get ready for the wedding and the man she was supposed to marry was unlike any man she has ever met or been with. But things aren't as she expects.

Malik knows who Nic is when she walks off the ship, but it amuses him to let her play her game and see what she comes up with next. For each request she has, he has a counter request, with the end being the same -- she will marry him when the time comes and their marriage will be a real marriage -- not one just on paper. But will Nic go through with the marriage, and what happens when she finds out it was all a setup, that there never was a marriage agreement between her sister and Malik? Was that just a plan Malik devised to get her to come to him?
