Barefoot on Ashes. Book One

The daughter of an Arab sheikh has no right to make a mistake, but I made one – I fell in love with my best friend and gave him my innocence. I believed – Neiton and I were destined to... be together, naively thinking that my father would allow me to choose my future husband. “– You will marry after graduating from university, Alicia. To Amiran al Maktum – the heir of Anmar.” Amiran: “– Oaths of loyalty, the first wedding night, your innocence and our future children – all this already belongs to me, Alice.” – No, I don’t want to. Back then I didn't know that for Amiran al Maktum, there is no other will but his own. By answering “no” I signed a death warrant for myself, my family, and Neiton.
