Trusting A Sheikh (Playgrounds of Power 1)

With Michelin starred restaurants, expensive cars and exclusive bars, the global elite flock to play in London’s private hotels. Competition is fierce, and when a suite goes for tens of thousands of dollars a night, you have to set yourself apart.That’s where the Kingsland Group comes in. Kingsland concierges have a finger in every pie and a foot in every door. For their billionaire clients, time is money – and contacts are key.
