‘I plan everything, Inez,’ he replied simply.
She looked into his face. The indomitable determination stamped on Theo’s harsh features sent a wave of anxiety through her. She started to speak, to say the words that seemed unreal to her, and her mouth trembled. His gaze dropped to the telling reaction and she immediately clamped her lips together.

MAYA BLAKE fell in love with the world of the alpha male and the strong, aspirational heroine when she borrowed her sister’s Mills & Boon® at age thirteen. Shortly thereafter the dream to plot a happy ending for her own characters was born. Writing for Harlequin Mills & Boon® is a dream come true. Maya lives in South East England with her husband and two kids. Reading is an absolute passion, but when she isn’t lost in a book she likes to swim, cycle, travel and Tweet!

THEO PANTELIDES ACCELERATED his black Aston Martin up the slight incline and screeched to a halt underneath the portico of the Grand Rio Hotel.
