       “I am to decide your punishment for you,” Mikael said finally.

      “What are the choices?”

      “Seven years’ house arrest here in Haslam—”

      “Seven years?”

      “Or I take you as my wife.”

      “That’s not funny. Not even remotely funny.”

      “It’s not a joke. I either marry you, or leave you here in Haslam to begin your house arrest.”

      He saw Jemma recoil and her face turn white.

      “I warned you that Sheikh Azizzi would not be lenient. He is not a Copeland fan either. He knows what your father did to my mother, and he wants to send a message that Saidia will not tolerate crime or immorality.”

      “But seven years!” She reached for the edge of the table to steady herself. “That’s … that’s … so long.”

      “Seven years or marriage,” he corrected.

      “No. No. Marriage isn’t an option. I won’t marry you. I would never marry you. I could never marry you.”

       THE DISGRACED COPELANDS

       A family in the headlines—for all the wrong reasons!

      For the Copeland family each day brings another tabloid scandal. Their world was one of unrivalled luxury and glittering social events. Now their privileged life is nothing but a distant memory …

      Staring the taunting paparazzi straight in the eye, the Copeland heirs seek to start new lives—with no one to rely on but themselves.

      At least that’s what they think …!

      It seems fame and riches can’t buy happiness—but they make it fun trying!
