About the book
Corfu's exotic beaches are a matchless place to meet true love...or at least to have a fabulous fling! And that's exactly what Philly Angelis needs. After all, she's a survivor of unrequited love...and an embarrassingly rejected sexual proposition. Fleeing to Greece to soak in its sexy magic--as well as to find a hot guy to take her mind off her longtime crush, Roman Oliver--seems the perfect antidote.Roman can't believe what he's doing. Philly is his best friend's little sister--definitely hands-off! So why is he following her to Corfu? And why is he taking her outrageously delicious sexual proposition seriously? Maybe because Philly's all woman now--a woman who knows exactly what she wants. And, God help him, Roman's going to give it to her....
