Where vengeance and desire collide, even the strongest hearts can shatter...

Lady Asilia has a daring plan: disguise herself as a man and win Arabia's deadliest horse race to escape an arranged marriage. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Her racing partner is none other than the man who destroyed her reputation years ago—a rogue whose tender touches and fierce protectiveness now make her question everything she thought she knew about him.

Cameron never meant to find her again—the woman whose life he accidentally ruined, now a bewitching beauty he can't resist. His mission is clear: expose his uncle's murderous crimes before his brother's inheritance is stolen forever. But as attraction blazes between them in the scorching desert, his web of secrets threatens to destroy the one thing he never expected to find—a love worth more than revenge.
In a race where victory means freedom and failure means certain ruin, they'll have to decide what burns hotter: the need for vengeance, or the flames of a forbidden love that could consume them both.

Wonderful story!! Virtual voice was good but misses the mark sometimes lol.

This book was very entertaining and well written. I binge listened over 2 days and never got bored. Virtual voice does a pretty good job but just doesn’t quite cut it in love scenes, and often says one name multiple ways. It also will change to a feminine voice when a male starts talking sometimes. It’s always noticeable but the book is good enough that I can overlook it.
