After spending a month alone in the Arizona desert on a dig, the last thing he wants to do is fly to Greece to locate the legendary Iero Klopos, an ancient treasure rumored to be so powerful that it can bring governments to their knees. And the risk of it falling into the wrong hands is greater than Gabriel cares to contemplate. But a man needs a bit of companionship after so many weeks alone, and the cute little waitress from the Last Chance diner seems harmless enough. It's not as if he's looking for a lifetime commitment or anything. Waitress Iris Alexander once had the sort of life most people only dream of - one of unlimited wealth, privilege and power. However one family disaster after another has left her penniless and at the mercy of men with less than noble intentions. When Gabriel Hunt sweeps into her life and offers her a trip to Greece in exchange for things "yet to be discussed," how can she say no? After all, it's a chance to turn her life around and have a taste of the world she once inhabited. But that's it. She's not stupid enough to fall in love with the world's most legendary playboy. Is she? Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this novel is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. less
