Greece & France – Present Day

Six years ago, Greek billionaire Leandros Kastellanos was engaged to heiress Eliana Georgiades. But it ended when she told him she could not marry him because his father would disinherit him if he did. It was enough to convince Leandros she was a gold digger and even more so when she shortly thereafter married another rich man. While at a party, Leandros spots Eliana. She is now widowed and as beautiful as ever. And he wants to exact revenge by having their aborted wedding night in Paris. After discovering that Eliana was living in the poor section of town and barely scraping by, it was easy to convince her to come to Paris with him. Will he get what he wants from her—and then drop her like a hot potato?

It's all smoke and mirrors for Leandros and Eliana in GREEK’S TEMPORARY CINDERELLA. It turns out that it doesn’t look like what he thought was going on. She doesn’t bother to deny his belief that she married Damian (her late husband) for money, but he is perplexed as to why she isn’t living the high life as his widow. He should hate her, yet he wants her in his bed for one night. They arrive in Paris, and they dance around each other as they play tourist and get to know one another again. But it’s inevitable that Eliana will soon end up in Leandros’ bed. Will there be a night of discovery filled with sensuous lovemaking—or a big surprise?

There are plenty of twists and surprises in GREEK’S TEMPORARY CINDERELLA as Leandros and Eliana get reacquainted. Readers will learn that she didn’t want to break up with him, but her father was on the brink of financial ruin. If Leandros’ father did disinherit him, then not only would her father be bankrupt, but so would the newly married couple. She made the decision to walk away and found another golden goose to marry. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the marriage she wanted but more of a convenience. Is Eliana a gold digger? Readers—and Leandros—will need to figure this out. But she is a sympathetic character that readers will soon be rooting for, as well as our couple to find happiness together. 

An interesting and intriguing tale, with some surprises along the way, so be sure to not miss GREEK’S TEMPORARY CINDERELLA.
