Greek tycoon Perseus Kostopoulos is scared, both inside and out by his first love, Sophia. He has had very little love in his life. Then along comes brave, smart, lovely Samantha Telford. She cleans his office at night, she is working her way through college. So it is taking a little longer for her because she has to support her self. She can not go full time after her mother's death. Sam is putting together a collage of his office building for art class. The teacher insists that all the students use only scrap paper, to be found in the street, on the floor or the ground. They can't get the paper from the garbage or make the trash themselves. Sam's masterpiece needed just one more piece to complete it. She found it on the floor of Perseus' office. Only this paper wasn't trash, it accidently blew onto the floor. Perseus needs the paper, it had the phone number of his long lost love on it. He makes Sam go to the school to get her art work. Sam has to take it apart, only the number is lost because of the treatment Sam did to make it fit her collage. To pay for her error Perseus asks her to pose as his wife, for the day time, and he will grant her three wishes. Sam fell in love with Perseus at first site, and Perseus has loved Sam because of a picture he bought that her absentee father painted of her mother a long, long time ago. From the back of the book: 'Beauty and the beast? Cynical millionaire Perseus Kostopoulos is no Prince Charming-his Greek-god features are marred by a two-inch scar above his jaw. But Samantha can't help but find her boss attractive, especially when, in return for a simple favor, he offers to grant her three wishes! All she has to do is become his temporary wife... But this is to be a purely practical marriage; Samantha his bride by day alone. Only she hasn't been brought by the promise of wishes. Perseus himself is the prize she seeks...if only he'd make her his wife for real!'
Intricate tale of love.

The heroine meets the hero in the most amazing way. She has to clean this office building and she cleans the suite of a Greek shipping tycoon. An art student, she has to find scraps of paper to finish an assignment for her class. It's a collage. She made a collage of the building owned by the hero. Anyway, he needs that scrap of paper. it's a phone number which could lead back to the woman he loved in his past, the woman who gave him the scar. When the heroine and the hero meet in his office, he demands to know where the paper is. Of course it is in her collage which is now locked up at the university. He goes there with her to retrieve it, then takes the collage to her apartment to get it off the convass. That's when the start to fall in love and she ends up going to Greece with him. It's an incredible story caught up with a Greek myth. I don't know how Ms. Winters does it, but she hooks me every time.
