    About this ebook

    An explosive story of revenge, betrayal, return, mystery, love and power. When the millionaire Prince Omar Al Ajnabi from the tiny oil rich state of Ramliyya arrives in the UK to launch a programme of investment ventures, he is quickly welcomed to the bosom of British high society. Young British Oxford student Sophie Palmer is not the only individual to fall into the enigmatic sheikh’s maw who quickly finds herself ensnared in a web of political intrigue and painful revelations of the past that stretch back to the troubles of Northern Ireland and forward to a day of countdown and reckoning as the clocktower of Big Ben ticks towards midnight on the 5th of November: Guy Fawkes Day.
