Librarian's Note: An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here. Advertising agent Nicole is very much a lady, for all the good it's done her: her conniving boss takes credit for her ideas, and sends her on a last-minute overseas assignment to that's bound to fail. Nervous, but determined to do her best, Nicole accepts some ouzo—okay, LOTS—from her handsome seatmate. She yields to the temptation of the sexy stranger on the transatlantic flight, unaware he’s the client she’s going to pitch. Blown away that her Mile High fantasy made flesh is the Helios CEO, she struggles to balance the professionalism her job demands with the irresistible magnetism of her client. Konstantinos sweeps her into a dizzying world—haute cuisine, enthralling trips by jet and yacht, stunning vistas on his private Grecian beach—and into his bed, where Nicole finds passion she'd never imagined. She dares to hope it's more than a fling. Captivated by Nicole's fresh charm and her killer business instincts, Konstantinos chooses her campaign, antagonizing powerful board members who want him out. Then scandalous photos of the two show up in a Greek tabloid, threatening both their careers—and their love affair.

I write the things I love to read: steamy, fun stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, smart women and men who aren’t jerks. I like to read about friendships, either close women or a good bromance. I want all the feels: the thrill of a smoldering gaze or the barest brush of fingertips, the shocked gasp at the underhanded villain, the angst of heartbreak, the joy of reunion, and of course, happily ever after! I enjoy a sneak peek into intriguing groups, whether that be military personnel, medicine, or another culture like Greece. It’s fun to live vicariously and go sailing, diving, or rock climbing. A bit of danger always gets me going, so many of my Romances have a thriller subplot. I also write thrillers with a slow-burn romantic subplot. I love humor and am partial to witty banter and embarrassing situations! Love is funny sometimes! I hate to read the same old thing, with only the names and places changed, so my goal is to bring you a fresh, fun, NEW story every time, with NO CLIFFHANGERS! More than anything, I want a rollicking, great story that I can’t put down, one where love prevails in the end, one that will whisk me away from my own tribulations.
