About the book
"He's one of the most talked about men in New York-and interior designer Eva Grey has heard all the stories. Yes, Markos is powerful, wealthy and unbearably good-looking, but Eva knows that while he might make a girl feel special for one searingly hot night, that's all he's good for. After her disastrous marriage, he's just the type of man she should avoid. But when Markos hires Eva to decorate his penthouse, it's too lucrative an opportunity to turn down and one that shatters Eva's resolve to stay firmly out of Markos's bedroom!"--Page 2 of cover.
