The Greek’s chosen wife

Nowhere could be more perfect than the breathtaking island of Santorini to fall in love – but its whispering winds, azure seas and innate tranquillity belie the blazing passion the island evokes in all who arrive on its idyllic shores…

Heiress Martha Antonides is stunned when she arrives at her ancestral family home on the Greek island of Santorini – to find that the villa has been taken over by billionaire Theo Savas… Forced together, they indulge in a scorchingly hot affair. But Theo Savas will never marry. Martha knows she must leave, but her heart and body will not obey her head. Mistress or wife – she’s Theo’s for the taking!

Review:

Martha Antonides is absolutely furious when she finds her boyfriend in the shower with another woman! Shocked, hurt and livid, she empties her savings account and books a one way ticket to Greece to the island of Santorini where her parents have had a holiday home for generations.

However, the last thing Martha is expecting is to find a stranger living in her house – a gorgeous stranger whom a magazine declared as the world’s sexiest sailor! Theo Savas is not only drop dead gorgeous, but he’s also a billionaire and what’s more thanks to her feckless father, he now owns their home on Santorini!

With no job, no money and with no inclination to go home whatsoever, Martha decides that she’s not going anywhere and if Theo doesn’t want her living with him – tough! But what Martha hasn’t counted on is the fact that under the sizzling Mediterranean sun, passion will flare and before Martha knows it she finds herself pregnant with the Greek billionaire’s baby!

The Santorini Bride features two lively characters that are so vividly drawn that you feel as if they are in the room with you, steamy love scenes, passionate romance, delicious humor and wonderful emotional intensity.

In The Santorini Bride, Anne McAllister blends all the passion, drama and emotion which we’ve come to expect from Harlequin Presents/M&B Modern with charm, wit and laugh out lines.

Charming, romantic and absolutely hilarious, The Santorini Bride is a novel which you can’t afford to miss!
