Meet Fatima Saadeh of Lebanon. Tall, beautiful, educated at Cambridge University and fiercely independent, Fatima is the epitome of the modern Arab Muslim woman. As the daughter of a political family, Fatima wields great power which must be handled with care. When a group of American businessmen hell-bent on building an international entertainment center in Beirut come her way, Fatima sees a chance to silence her doubters once and for all. One of the Americans stands out. Solomon Kingsley, a tall, cocky and handsome, MIT-trained and fiercely ambitious African-American engineering genius. Sparks fly between them, and they start an affair. Since Fatima and Kingsley come from different worlds, their romance definitely won't be easy. This is their story.
