Summary:
"As a fashion aficionado and best friend of the queen of the African island country Ol or o Il e, Iris Blakely dreams of using her talent to start a sustainable clothing line to help citizens in impoverished areas and honor the country's resources. But when she discovers that Ekon Diallo -- the man who betrayed her best friend -- will be her business consultant, the battle between her desires and reality begins. Ekon Diallo has lost everything: his princely title, his material possessions, his friends, and the respect of his fellow Ol orans. To pay for his actions against Ol or o Il e, he's forced to assist the charismatic Iris Blakely -- but he can't allow his heart to distract him from regaining his status. Though they come from vastly different worlds, Iris and Ekon are both determined to reach their goals, and the only way to do that is to work together -- if they can just keep their hearts from getting in the way . . ."-- Provided by publisher.
