*********************************************************

Arielle's Greek vacation was supposed to be a break from her chaotic life, not a hot fling with a mysterious stranger.

Enter Alexios Zervas: charming, irresistible, and-surprise-completely unwilling to share any details about himself.

They keep it light, no strings, no names. But after a steamy night together, Arielle stumbles upon a cryptic clue that sends her curiosity-and fear-into overdrive.
