Librarian's Alternate cover edition of ISBN 0373705344."Wanted, good-looking young man to perform simple task. Few hours only. Generous remuneration."When Ricky had blandly jilted her in order to make a more advantageous marriage and had then had the nerve to invite her to the wedding, Tara was determined, for pride's sake, to go, but equally determined not to be an object of pity. So she had advertised for a bogus "fiance" to accompany her to the wedding - and in the devastingly handsome young Greek, Paul Dorkas, found exactly what she was looking for.It was only when Paul's stern older brother Leon, domineering and with the worst possible opinion of Englishwomen and their morals, got mixed up in it all that Tara realised what deep waters she was getting into!

And that could prove to be a dangerous assumption.

Kidnap Greek businessman Charon Drakos? The outrageous plan was basically weak Sarah Gilmore thought, but she felt obliged to help her girlfriend. As with so many well-laid plans, it backfired. It was Sarah who was kidnapped, and whisked off to Charon's grim, fortresslike home in a remote and primitive part of Greece. Her spirited resistance seemed only to amuse him. "Whether you like my kisses or not," he informed her arrogantly, "you're going to accept them. You are my wife, Sarah; and in Greece marriage is permanent."
