Price of Pride
Stavros Venieris is the most powerful landowner in the region. Though born outside the nobility, he built the greatest fortune the area has ever seen through ambition, intelligence, and relentless determination. Educated, strikingly handsome, and impossibly charismatic at first glance, he possesses everything a man could desire-except kindness. Ruthless, proud, and uncompromising, Stavros inspires fear and respect rather than affection.
Melina Komninou comes from one of the oldest noble families in the region. For generations, the Komninos name stood for wealth, honor, and prestige-until her father, Aggelos Komninos, squandered the family's entire fortune. Burdened by crushing debt, Melina watches her family's legacy crumble while their creditors grow increasingly impatient.
When repayment becomes impossible and Aggelos faces losing everything, difficult choices must be made. How far will he go to preserve his pride? And what part will Stavros Venieris-the man who seems to hold everyone's fate in his hands-play in Melina's future?
As destiny intertwines the lives of two people from opposite worlds, power, pride, sacrifice, and unexpected emotions will reshape their lives forever.
