A sun-drenched, high-angst vintage romance built on delicious misunderstandings and fiery Mediterranean passion.
What it feels like
Reading this feels like stepping into a time capsule of classic category romance, where the Mediterranean sun is hot but the glares exchanged between the leads are even hotter. The atmosphere is thick with delicious tension, built entirely on a foundation of stubborn pride and dramatic misunderstandings. It moves at a brisk, addictive pace, sweeping the reader from cold accusations to fiery, undeniable attraction. The prose is emotionally heightened and unapologetically melodramatic, focusing heavily on the internal angst and sparking dialogue of its protagonists. It is a perfect, escapist treat for readers who love the vintage trope of the arrogant tycoon and the fiercely protective, misunderstood heroine, delivering exactly the kind of satisfying, hard-won happily-ever-after that fans of the genre devour.

About the book
It was all a terrible misunderstanding
Alex loved little Nicki as though he were her own, but she was his aunt, not his mother. And she wasn't the hardened gold digger Andros Kostos thought she was when she arrived at his luxurious hotel in Athens asking for support for the child.
After all, Nicki was his nephew, too. It was only fair that he should accept his brother's son.
And to give him credit, Andros did accept Nicki. But to Alex's distress, he assumed that she was included in the bargain--as his brother's former mistress
