“My endless love… You know it’s you I want. The only one I’ve ever wanted. I yearn for you. I crave for you. A hunger that is insatiable. A passion that burns hotter than fire. I finally found you. And you’re mine to keep.” Theodoros ‘Theo’ Kralidis hasn't seen his exiled, troublemaking stepsister, Aundrea ‘Dea’ Etheridge, since the night they finally gave in to their forbidden attraction. Learning she's returned to Athens during a business deal too crucial to jeopardize, Theo holds her prisoner on Saint Marie, his private island, until it's over. Dea wants to rectify the past, but being so close to Theo's potent sensuality, she's once again a slave to their destructive desire. One last passionate, forbidden night should have put their affair behind them, but Dea leaves the island with more than scorching-hot memories…

CHAPTER 1

‘Is this a joke?! What the hell is she doing here?’ Tension gripped Theo Kralidis as he stood alone on the balcony that jutted out from his cousin’s luxurious mansion. He completely ignored the iconic view of the Parthenon against the blue September sky as he scowled at the dark-haired woman at the garden party below. ‘Aundrea Etheridge… The American beauty everybody called Dea…’ His worst nightmare… His darkest, most painful secret… His stepsister… Burning hot fury ate away at him as he watched Dea glide through the crowd of Athens’s high society, talking to people like nothing ever happened… Like she was as innocent as an angel and sweet as a baby. But she wasn’t… She was a conniving little bitch and her place was somewhere else, far away from this place and from this gathering. She was like a timebomb ready to explode and wipe away the most important business deal for the Kralidis Family. Theo gave her a look fro

Another great story from E.S.! Both incredibly hurt characters. But this makes them human and makes the reader love them more. E.S. always delivers a great story with a lot of plot and character development in a short read. Thanks for the epilogue. I’m looking forward to the next story!

CHAPTER 2

‘God… Some things never change,’ Dea told herself. She flashed a friendly smile at one of the older Kralidis women. But, as expected, the old crow dressed in unrelieved black didn’t reciprocate as she drew the lovely heiress she just talked to earlier, away from the crowd, to the other side of the garden. Well… once a black sheep, always a black sheep. It was as if the Kralidis family believed she could corrupt the young woman with just her mere presence. So narrow-minded, so unbelievably quick to judge. Dea strolled along the garden, sipping from her water glass as if she didn’t feel all eyes on her. As if she didn’t feel the skin on her back burning. She was being paranoid, she knew that. Many of the relatives had been indifferent to her when she had lived in Athens. Yet no one seemed content that she had returned. And, somehow, she knew the reason of their reaction… She sensed a strange undercurrent that hung in the late summer breez

CHAPTER 3

Dea swallowed the gasp of outrage and fought the compelling need to fling the contents of her glass into his face. Damn it! Her new and improved image was already slipping. She was never in control when she was around her stepbrother. She had to get away from Theo or risk making a scene. Making a scene wouldn’t help her gain forgiveness from her father.“Don’t confuse me with the women you associate with, Theo.” Dea turned on her heel.“Running away already, Aundrea?” She whipped around, wobbling to a standstill as she glared at him. Theo had sounded disinterested and bored while she was a jittery mass of nerves. It wasn’t fair.“I don’t run away. I never had and never will. That’s your signature move, stepbrother dear, not mine.” The muscle bunching in his cheek was the only indication that her words had hit the target.“You know how to create a disaster and leave without a trace while everyone else deals with the aftermath. Th

CHAPTER 4

“Aundrea, dear, would you care for some more coffee?” Demitra Kralidis asked.“No, Demitra, thank you very much,” Dea replied as she studied her father and stepmother from across the breakfast table. What should have been an intimate meal was more of an exhausting, unnecessary interview. Well, it wasn’t like she didn’t expect that. After her awful encounter with Theo, she had been prepared for this one too. Dea wished she could spend some time with her father in private but getting him alone was proving extremely difficult. But she was determined to succeed. She was, however, making some small progress, since she was back in the Kralidis ‘fortress’, the Greek family house. She was absolutely stunned by that. Andrea had never considered it a possibility. Yet, two days after she had been invited to Alexis’s housewarming party, she was eating a late breakfast with her father and stepmother while a maid was unpacking her suitcases. How about that?!

CHAPTER 5

Sweat ran down his spine but he didn’t sound out of breath. He placed his hands on his lean hips and stretched. She was mesmerized by the play of muscles and the faint crisscross of scars that ran down his back.“I have a place of my own but I stay here when I’m in Athens.” Dea stepped in front of him, blocking his way. It was irritating that he wouldn’t deign to look at her. She inhaled his scent and felt she was about to faint. It was hot, sweaty, and... so damn manly. A blush crept up her neck and into her face. She didn’t know why it left her flustered.“And how long are you planning to stay here?” Dea asked. His nearness was almost her undoing. Her breasts felt heavy and tight and she crossed her arms against her chest.“For as long as you are, glikia mou, (Greek for ‘sweetheart’)” he replied. “I’m only here to keep an eye on you.”“Excuse me? Oh, I see it now…” Dea’s lips parted as a thought occurred to her. Her intuition had bee

CHAPTER 6

‘She’s good… She’s very good…’ Theo thought later that night. He had underestimated his stepsister. Theo considered what he had seen at the family dinner a few moments ago and scowled. Not only had Dea gained her father’s attention with the mention of an expensive gift for his upcoming birthday, but she had also excelled in the area that had consistently been her downfall. During that dinner, she had been the quintessential companion, delighting the grumpiest of his uncles and making fast friends with the younger wives and fiancées. Reluctantly, Theo kept an eye on her the entire evening, admiring Dea’s strategy. She had approached the outer circle of his family and was slowly gaining allies. But that wasn’t okay with him. He couldn’t have this. Theo leaned against the marble newel post as he watched Dea descend the staircase like she was a queen, born and raised. She had reapplied her bright red lipstick after dinner and some

CHAPTER 7

A few minutes later, Theo joined the crowd into the music room. It had taken some time to purge the thought of Ari Iraklidis and rein in his emotions. Dea had hit her mark and it appeared she had done so without any strategy. It was as though she could see through him however much he tried to dissemble. He stood by the door as he watched one of the guests, yet another heiress and family friend, play his mother’s favorite sonata on the piano. Everyone seemed spellbound by the display of technical precision but the music didn’t reach him. Rarely did anything pierce through his armor these days. Just Aundrea Etheridge. Theo frowned at that troubling thought.“Theo?” He turned and saw Astra Galanis, his cousin’s future wife. He wasn’t sure how long she had been standing there. She was quite petite, with dramatic features, and dressed just like every other female in his social circle.“I’ve been meaning to ask… What exactly is Dea to this family?”“Sh

CHAPTER 8

“You can’t do that!” Dea exclaimed and looked around. The scent of the briny ocean and the promise of rain were suddenly overwhelming. Her head began to spin as she took deep gulps of air.“I didn’t agree to this. My father is expecting me at this wedding. It will embarrass him if I unexpectedly don’t show up.”“You have no choice in the matter. I suggest you get inside before the storm hits.” She waved her hands in the air as she spluttered with outrage.“Do you honestly believe that I will just follow you? Only because you say so?” Dea reached inside her purse and grabbed her phone.“You forget that I’m not a Kralidis...”“Put that away,” Theo replied. “There is no internet or phone connection on this island.” She refused to believe him. A man as important and powerful as Theo Kralidis would have all of the latest technology. But as she held up her phone, Dea saw he was telling the truth.“People are going to worry if we don’t show up.”

CHAPTER 9

          Later, Dea wrenched open her bedroom door and entered the main room of the house. She could have stayed in the hot shower all night but the last thing she would do was hide in her room, like the coward she wasn’t. As much as she wanted to avoid Theo, she wasn’t going to make herself invisible.          She tightened the belt around her robe, wishing she had something heavier than the ivory silk one that didn’t reach her knees. With any luck, Theo would be in his room.          Dea took a moment to look around. It wasn’t a surprise that Theo’s island getaway was light, airy, and luxurious. He loved huge spaces and he had always surrounded himself with exquisite beauty.          There were large windows that offered a panoramic view of the ocean. The cathedral ceil

CHAPTER 10

          The next morning, Theo stood by the windows as he gripped the satellite phone in his hand. He watched the storm with a sense of resignation as he considered his options.          And the truth was… there were no options... He had been caught in his own net.          He was being punished for what he had done. Pain throbbed in his head and his eyes felt gritty. It had been so long since he had a hangover and it had been reckless to dull his senses around her.          ‘Nice one, Theo Kralidis,’ he scolded himself. ‘Getting drunk and kissing her… Well played…’          Theo tensed when he heard the wheels of Dea’s suitcase drag along the stone floor. He was ready to deal wit
