From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1068, April 2011, UK Edition:
The House always wins…
Once upon a time, and far away, Joanna Vernon found herself the ultimate prize in a dangerously high-stakes card game. When the last hand had been revealed, the knowing curl of Vassos Gordanis’ lip told her he had every intention of claiming his winnings…
Though no setting could be more beautiful than Vassos’ private island, to Joanna the Aegean Sea was merely a turquoise-hued prison wall. In the Gordanis house a woman was expected to know her place, and this merciless Greek knew exactly where he planned to settle the score…
MEN WITHOUT MERCY
Arrogant and proud, unashamedly male!
Excerpt
From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1068, April 2011, UK Edition:
'What kind of barbarian are you?' Joanna asked, her voice shaking.
'A rich one,' he said flatly. 'And one whom it is unwise to cross—unless you are prepared to suffer the consequences. But perhaps, thespinis, you thought you were immune?'
'How could I possibly have crossed you?' she protested. Twenty-four hours ago I—I didn't know you existed.'
'Whereas I have been aware of you for the past year,' he said. 'And have looked forward to our meeting. I do not think I shall be disappointed.'
The dark eyes went over her. Slowly and quite deliberately stripping her naked, she realised dazedly.
'Please me,' he went on, 'and you will find me generous.'
He shrugged. 'Then you will learn to do so, and quickly,' he returned, almost indifferently. 'You have no other option, as I am sure you will come to see when you have considered the matter further.'
He paused. 'Your clothes and other possessions have already been packed, and tonight you will be flown to Greece, where you will wait for me on my island of Pellas.'
His slow smile made her shiver.
'I find anticipation increases the appetite—don't you...?'
