Pining for my long lost book...
I am beyond distraught :( One of my favourite old reads has disappeared into thin air and I can't find it! Now, normally I wouldn't care too much - if I loved it enough, I would be happy to buy a new one - but here comes the clincher...
I can't remember the title!
I'm driving myself mad searching for the book online. I know the plot, I think I know the name of the main male character and his brother (for some random reason!) and so I'm hoping if I tell you guys, maybe, just maybe someone will have read it and might be able to help me out! I hope!
So here goes...
Okay:
First of all, the book is one of Mills And Boon's Romance section - it's an oldie, I think from the eighties. The version I had, had an orange cover (similar style to the one pictured here: http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/4f/8d/d3_1_b.JPG) and a woman and a man standing up in the forefront, with a sea side in the background.
I think the guy's name is Michealis (He's a wealthy greek tycoon - think from oil or shipping or something) and his brother is Petros (although, while he spent his education in England he went by the name Pete). The main female in the story is British, I think her name is something like Kate, but I honestly can't remember :(
The story is this:
The girl goes to Greece at the invitation of her university friend Pete (Petros) to spend some time on holiday. She accepts, because her new stepsister is moving in and she wants to help her feel like she has the upper hand on her as it's hard for her (the step sister) to be moving into a new home etc. (I think)
Anyway, when she gets to Greece she's met by Petros' brother, who says he will take her to Petros. But he doesn't, he takes her to his house on an island.
It is now that we find out Michealis thinks that she is there to break up his brother's arranged marriage. We later find out that he thinks this because his brother told him as much, but only because Petros wants very much to marry his betrothed, but worries that his family won't let him as her family has lost all their money.
Anyway, she tries to escape several times, but doesn't win. Obvious sexual tension between her and Michealis. He takes her to where his brother and the rest of their family are, but presents her as his girlfriend. This throws Petros, but he gets the real story out of the girl (Kate?) and gets her to agree to his bullshit story to help him make sure he can marry the other girl he wants.
There's lots of sexual tension between the main two, as Michealis thinks she wants his brother, but he wants her and it's all very hot and heated!
Anyway! Just when you think it's all lost hope, finally the secret comes out and her and Michealis seem ok. But, he makes her an offer that she thinks is to be his mistress. I think she then runs away, but he rushes after her. They eventually get together, get married and make with lots of smushy kisses as with all Mills and Boon stories!
So there you go - if you have a vague idea of what this story is called, who wrote it or anything(!) please let me know! If you know of someone else who might, please, please forward the information on to them!
I'll be forever indebted to whoever can help!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
