The compelling ANNIE'S JOURNEY characters are back and now it’s time for El Amir to face the next chapter in his life. A mysterious Moroccan businessman with mesmerizing golden eyes, El Amir Al-Mansoor is a patron of the arts, advocate of conservation in East Africa, and a man who honors the cultural traditions of his heritage. However, those traditions forbid him from marrying Annie, his first love, and his heart still yearns for the headstrong western beauty even as he considers finding a partner of his own. Elena Al-Farouq is arranged to be married. But the beautiful Arab heiress is stubbornly determined to break free of the societal traditions that bind her, longing instead for a life of adventure and wanderlust to feed her wild spirit. When she first meets El Amir, she senses the alluring stranger with the soulful eyes could be the answer to her prayers - but could he ever feel the same way about her? Can El Amir honor the traditions of the past, even while fashioning a future that embraces the love and passion he craves? Or will he reject Elena’s defiant spirit - and possibly lose the love of his life forever?
