Book excerpt: “A complex love story filled with betrayals, misunderstandings and secrets” from the USA Today–bestselling author of The Christmas Love-Child (CataRomance). American beauty Eve Craig fell under the spell of powerful Talos Xenakis in a hot-blooded Athens encounter . . . Three months later Eve has lost her innocence—and her memory! But she has aroused Talos’s desire and his anger—she has betrayed him. So what better way to punish the woman who nearly ruined him, than marry—and destroy—her? Only she’s now carrying his love-child . . . “Once this entertaining tale begins, Lucas does a terrific job of keeping the reader off-balance right to the end.” —Romantic Times
