About the book
There is another way," Argon said. And Leonie felt that anything was better than his intention of disinheriting her cousin, Paul, in her favor.
For twenty years her mother's Greek family had ignored Leonie's existence. Then suddenly her ailing great-grandfather had expressed a wish to see her, to make amends.
All her life she had secretly hero-worshipped her playboy cousin - now he was being offered to her as a husband. Paul's acceptance of the suggestion, however, came as a complete surprise!
