Product Description
When Mia Frazier agreed to her father's demand to marry Greek millionaire Alexander Doumas, she knew both men stood to gain from the deal--Alex would win back his family's island, and Mia's father would get the grandson and heir he so desperately longed for. But what about Mia? She had her own reason for agreeing to be Alex's wife--which was not financial gain, as Alex cynically believed. But how could the truth stay hidden, when she shared such intense passion with her new husband...and was now carrying his child?
Mia agrees to this marriage to save her sister. You know she hasn't agreed to do this for the money. Alex's character starts off sort of nasty, but he grows on you after awhile. Mia's father is the villain here, and is an emotional abuser. Mia is shocked and wary of her response to Alex--and what a response! Both Mia and Alex are hot for one another, and the sex scenes are great.

This book was just fantastic. It hit all the buttons. This book is a keeper and I have read it over and over again. My only complaint is I want Michelle Reid to write something similar so I can have two of them! I have bought every one of her books and she is a fantastic writer but this book is her best and every new one I buy I hope for a repeat of the emotions she brings about in this book. Will make you cry and smile and fall in love with all the characters. Superb*****

One of must-reads from Ms. Reid's
10 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
Mia Frazier had been rejected by her father since the day she was born, not only because she was an illegitimate daughter of his unfaithfull wife, but also the fact that she's a girl.
Losing her mother at the age of seventeen made her wild and rebellious, which resulted in an out-of-marriage pregnancy. She had to depend on her nasty father's mercy to have a shelter for her and the un-born baby, but in return, she had to agree to the baby's adoption as her father's daughter, also as her sister. He had been using the baby to make her do anything he wanted her to do for him, including a convenient marriage to Alexander Doumas, and to give him a grandson to pass on his inheritance. And Mia would get her daughter back in the end.
Alex himself wanted to have his family's island back desparately in order to fulfill his late-father's wish, and he had to agree to Jack Frazier's condition. He looked down on Mia even more because of her motives, which he assumed it had to be money, just as she had told him for she was not allowed to give out anything about the truth, or she would loose her daughter. She was so afraid of what her callous father might do if she broke the rules.
She had so much bitterness towards men like her father, and she had believed Alex was no difference, same cunning and heartless. But then she couldn't deny the hot-passion between them, eventhough their hatred for each other. They had the same goal, to make a baby-boy, she would get her daughter and he would get his precious island.
Later, Alex learnt about the truths and he decided that he couldn't let her wife suffer any longer. He had to put an end to all the lies given by her father. He could lose his island, but not his expecting wife and her daughter. But it was impossible for Mia to trust him to save her from her father, or to value her more than his island. In the end, his love for her was proved to be true, and came the happiness into her life.
This is my first Ms.Reid's book, from which then I became her fan and have been collecting her books. I love her style and fantastic imagination in her writing. As for this one, I'd love to give her a "10-TOP-STARS"!

Great again for Michelle Reid!
1 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Michelle Reid always writes interesting novels and this one is no exception! This will definitely go on my keeper shelf. The book is about an imperious, but handsome millionaire attempting to get back a piece of his heritage, an island in Greece. Mia, the heroine of the story is the daughter of a wealthy, but cold-hearted father who makes her a part of the deal with the hero to get the island back. Great dialogue and heaps of sexual tension make this one a winner.
