Heart of a Desert Warrior

Iris, a geologist, visits Kadar in the Middle East for her job. Waiting for her is a reunion with her ex-lover, Asad, the sheikh of this country. Six years ago, they were university students and fell in love, but one day Iris was suddenly dumped. After he left, she learned that Asad was the sheikh of a desert nation and had gotten married to a princess from a neighboring country. Although she was determined never to be at his mercy again, her heart is stirred by the passionate gaze of Asad-and finds the king of the desert has already divorced his wife.
