Aly Percy is a research assistant determined to complete her latest assignment. The protection of the endangered Johari turtles of Bagestan. When she is forced to give the fundraiser speech for her research team she is horrified at what happens. Not only is she underdressed but she trips on her way on stage and botches the speech up. What's a shy girl to do? She knows she is a plain jane compared to all the beautiful woman in the room. She was told her entire life how she would never measure up to other woman and she has come to accept that. Aly doesn't understand why or how she has caught the attention of Arif Akhtar. He scares her. For some reason he is the only man that has ever made her burn with lust. And he is totally out of her league.Arif doesn't know what it is about Aly that caught his attention. He feels like there is something about her that prompts him to draw her closer. Maybe there is more to her than his first impression of her. He sees the beauty hidden behind the plain woman before him.When they are forced to go together on Aly's research trip things between them heat up. Aly is determined to stay away from the man that makes her melt and he is just as determined to prove to her what a beautiful woman she truly is.In the beginning of this book I was actually sad for Aly. I couldn't believe the damage her own father has caused to her self esteem. I could compare her to a timid mouse. The only area where she seemed to come to life was her research. I was delighted to see her grow into the woman she was meant to be with Arif's help. There were a few twists and turns that kept the storyline moving at a fast pace.
