About the book
When Mia Frazier agreed to her father's demand to marry Greek millionaire Alexander Doumas, she knew both men stood to gain from the deal--Alex would win back his family's island, and Mia's father would get the grandson and heir he so desperately longed for. But what about Mia?
She had her own reason for agreeing to be Alex's wife--which was not financial gain, as Alex cynically believed. But how could the truth stay hidden, when she shared such intense passion with her new husband...and was now carrying his child?
this is a hard read... meaning very emotional... But, very very good, esp. for those women who watch "chick flicks" that make them cry. (Yeah, i dun get that)
HEA and nobody cheated, knowing that helped me push thru ch. 4, Not a fan of adultry,
