Zahir is the second book of the Ruthless Tycoon’s series by Theodora Taylor. It gives us lawyer “Prin” Jones and King Zahir of a fictional country called Jahwar. The story begins where the first of the series, Holt, started – at a party. When the couple meets, Prin is a student who’s been invited by the prince of her young dreams who also happens to attend her school. Unfortunately, following a case of mistaken identity, she finds herself in the arms of her prince’s brother, Zahir. Although their encounter is a steamy one, it ends in insults, anger, and a seemingly intense dislike. Ten years later Prin, now a lawyer, arrives in the country of Jahwar to attend her best friend Sylvie’s wedding. A wedding that’s being hosted by the now King Zahir. The animosity between Prin and Zahir hasn’t died, particularly on Zahir’s side. He’s cold, rude, and dismissive. When Prin needs a favor things blow up. One argument and a kiss in anger and Prin finds herself marrying her enemy. Although it isn’t meant to last, the two must overcome their dislike and cultural differences for the length of their marriage.
