In this heartwarming read by Jennifer Faye, escape to a Greek island paradise for Valentine’s Day…
From Greek island fling . . . To forever?
Managing a luxury resort on a picturesque Greek island is more than a job for Hermione Kappas. It’s been her lifeline since losing her home and family. So when gorgeous Atlas Othonos, who has recently inherited the resort, arrives set on selling it, Hermione has just two weeks to change his mind. But as their Valentine’s Day deadline approaches, it’s Hermione’s feelings for Atlas that are changing into something more…
They parked beneath a fully lit portico. Atlas glanced over at the woman as she undid her seat belt. Her long hair hung well past her shoulders. Even though it was wet, it had loose waves.
And when she glanced at him, he was immediately drawn in by her eyes, but she turned away before he was able to fully appreciate her beauty. She didn’t say a word as she got out of the car.
He rushed to do the same. The large glass doors swept open, bidding them entrance to a marble floor that gleamed. In the center of the spacious lobby was a water fountain with lights that played off the droplets of water. It was surrounded by groups of light aqua upholstered chairs.
He glanced down at his wet clothes and shoes that were making a mess of the floor. He couldn’t wait to go to his suite and get cleaned up. Except there was no one at the reception desk. He found a bell at the end of the counter. He banged his palm down on it, over and over again. He hoped the rest of the resort’s service was better.
The woman covered his hand with her own. The touch jolted him from his thoughts. It felt as if an electric current had arced between them before racing up his arm and making his whole body tingle. His gaze met hers. It was then that he noticed the color of her eyes, brown with gold flecks. And right now, agitation radiated from them.
“Stop.” She kept her voice low but firm.
He glanced down to where her hand rested on his. Her touch was warm and soft. As though realizing they were still touching, she swiftly moved her hand.
A door off to the side of the counter area opened. An older man rushed out. He struggled to place his black-rimmed glasses on his face. When his gaze collided with Atlas’s glare, his eyes widened. And then the man took in Atlas’s appearance. By the horrified expression of the desk clerk, he must look quite the mess. But it was his car he was worried about right now.
Before the clerk could utter a word, Atlas said, “There’s been an accident.”
The clerk’s gaze moved from Atlas to the woman and then back again. “Is anyone hurt?”
“My new car. It’s stuck out there in the mud. Someone has to remove it from the side of the road. And then I need to check in.”
“Yes, sir. I can call for a tow and get you registered.” The man hesitated as though not sure what to do first.

I've been to Greece a few times. What we usually do is explore all the local attractions, pick out a few favorite restaurants, go on some nice walks, and get to know the local people if we can.
