About the book
Her old life was a rut, one she was glad to escape. Then she was grabbed by a knife-wielding man on her first night in Greece, and she wondered if she would go on having any life at all.
NICHOLAS GREGORAS...
He was both more than he seemed to be, and less. Though more than a wealthy importer, he was not the dangerous criminal Morgan had first thought him.
But what was he? And, in choosing to love him, what danger was she courting? The answers lay in darkness, at the end of the path.
