Product Description
Powerful and proud - he's a traditional Greek husband!
Gorgeous Greek billionaire Leandro plucked plump Millie from her farm and swept her into his glamorous world! Wrapped in his arms, draped in diamonds, she thought nothing could touch them.
But the deepest, darkest betrayal did. Her sister claimed she was expecting Leandro's baby.
So Millie ran away, distraught. The designer dresses had clearly never hidden how unsuitable and unglamorous she truly was.
Now, though, Leandro's powerful voice is demanding his wife come home... And, to her shame, she's willing...

Leandro Demetrios, self made billionaire banker , was abandoned by his single mother when he was six years old, growing up in a care home he promised himself not let the same fate befall any child. As handsome as he was rich he was labelled a playboy because he did not commit to the superficial hordes of women that flocked after him for his money. Deep down as a Greek he believed in love and untainted purity of womanhood. One day while visiting a remote farm to assess a business investment, he clasped his eye on a farm-girl, Mille who was climbing through hay to save some kittens. Her heart of gold, lack of vanity and of course her long legs had Leandros vowing to make her his wife. Following a whirlwind courtship and romance Mille and Leandros were married. Three months after, Mille took off convinced that her husband was having an affair with her sister, on the strength of a flimsy evidence. She gave him no hearing, found him guilty without trial and left.
A year on Millie's sister was dead and had dumped her baby on Leandros, announcing to the world that he was the father. Leandros gave the baby a home and refused to explain himself to the media, to the media his actions and silence confirmed his guilt. Millie on finding out about the baby through the media circus steals back into Leandros house late one night to demand he hand over her nephew, a baby she believed to be the product of an affair between her sister and her husband. Leandros demands were simple; she can care for the baby if she returns as his wife and gave their marriage a chance.
I think it should have been more aptly titled, `Powerful, loving, romantic Greek, whinny and extremely insecure wife'. Millie was whinny, and to some extent annoying. Her insecurity was the size of Mount Everest. Although her insecurity was explained away as a result of being put down and compared to her more brilliant and beautiful sister by her parents, I think that her insecurity stemmed from her inability to have `simplicity of thought'. She only saw the negative in every kind and loving gesture. `Millie you look fabulous', `oh you mean I am fat'. Any consideration and sensitivity on the part of Leandros she saw as insensitivity or something worse. If her insecurities did not drive you barmy, her wallowing in self pity would do it.
However you will love the Hero, truly an alpha male, patient, kind, loving and sensitive. He knew why he married her and was willing to try and explore everything to make their marriage work. He did not believe in divorce or giving up at the first huddle, rather he believed that problems were meant to be overcome, no matter their size. He recognised his failings in not going after Millie when she left and not making her talk to him about her problems and insecurities as well as not defending himself at the time. He set about fixing these by making sure they communicated and helped her gain some self esteem by showing her in a most unreserved fashion that she was loved. Will his loving efforts be enough or will Millie find new excuses as to why she was not a suitable wife for him?
The banter is quite hilarious and the Hero is adorable with his quirky sense of humour and hilarious one liners.

Sarah Morgan dazzles her readers with Powerful Greek, Unworldly Wife.
This love story sizzles off of the pages as one learns that Leandro Demetrios is not only a ruthless billionaire, he's one that any and every woman desires. However, there are some problems...... number one he's married but his wife Millie left him because she believed he had an affair with her sister. And she also believes that he's the father of her sister's child. And now that very same wife has come to claim her nephew because her sister died. Add to the list, Millie finds her husband in the arms of another woman, a well known beautiful actress.
As this story unfolds you learn they met at her parent's farm where she lived and worked. Immediately Leandro and Millie fell into a passionate affair, married only a few months later and this proud Greek took his marriage and their relationship seriously. Due to his wealth and status as all billionaires, he was in the limelight, expected to go to various parties, events and as a couple they were always being photographed and his sweet wife Millie never felt she measured up and she had self confidence issues. She never believed herself beautiful enough and compared herself to other women in her husbands past and to his friends he socialized with. Millie never felt confident or good enough and she didn't communicate those feelings to her husband.
This proud and sexy Greek has a plan and is determined that Millie will never again walk out on him and that they will honour their wedding vows. Personally, I immediately fell in love with him the more I read this up and down and very emotional love story. He's not as daunting as one might believe because you learn that he has taken in his baby nephew not because of an affair with Millie's sister but out of a sense of duty and to make sure little Costas has the very best life has to offer.
Was this painful at times to read? The answer yes due to Millie's misconceptions concerning her husband and because of her insecurities. The beautiful part of the story was how determined Leandro was in making sure they communicated, how patient he was with her when he found out her secret and how determined he was to make her realize her potential as the woman he loved not the insecure girl from the farm who always felt compared to her sister. Powerful Greek, Unworldly Wife was a magnificent love story and gives the reader hope because it's not about where you come from, it's about accepting who you are, believing in yourself, letting go of the past and in the person you love.
