To say that the news of engagement and upcoming nupitals of Greek business tycoon Nicholas Petrakis with Emily Kostas, daughter of a powerful business magnate Robert Kostas, created a stir would be an understatement.
Deemed as the "Marriage of the Century" with their love story being compared to Romeo and Julliet's, people marvelled at the strength of their love, for it was no news that the both the families were not on good terms.
However, what the people didn't know is the fact that in the cruel and selfish world of business, love does not exist. Life is no fairy tale, but a mere statement of profit and loss. The basis of their engagement was not love, but a comprise, a bargain from which he would gain his revenge and she, the reputation of her family which was at stake.
With their own premature notions and misconceptions about each other, along with people from their pasts with the only aim to poison their minds against each other, will they be able to find love in each other or will they succumb in the web of lies spun by their trusted ones?
Follow their journey as they encounter lies, deceit, revenge, passion, lust and maybe love..?

Tempting the Tycoon
Meet Sydney Hughes. Even though she's a knockout, she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since college. She's been too busy tending bar at her dad's neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her dad with the business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend. Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO the Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd on to the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which aren't doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip's lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel bar's revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother. The first time Alexios enters Jimmy's Bar it's so crowded he can barely get inside. It obviously has something he hasn't thought of for his casino lounge. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney's ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn't hurt that he's drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back. Now that Sydney works for Alexios, she's even more the ice queen where he's concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways and winning Sydney's trust? Or will this be his last call?Complete
