But Damita knows someone who might: Cameron Bandor, owner of a lavish Middle East hotel and, the tabloids claim, Lola's latest lover. Determined to confront the notorious playboy, Damita disguises herself in the ridiculous harem uniform of the hotel's maids and storms into Cam's room, where she surprises him in bed with a sultry blonde. More shocking to Damita is her own reaction to his perfectly chiseled physique. Although Cam is instantly taken with the voluptuous redhead who's not afraid to give him a piece of her mind, he always errs on the side of caution. That's why he refuses to disclose the whereabouts of his dear friend Lola until he checks out Damita's story. Besides, it buys Cam a little time to thoroughly seduce his unexpected guest--and do everything it takes to make her fall in love with him.
