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"!

First book that I ever read by Michelle Reid. I loved it. The sex is great and I like the way she lets you into both characters heads. I have read every book by her since and I am currently trying to collect the books prior to this one.

The BEST ever from Michelle Reid and a top BEST from Harlequin Present. Great plot, well paced without a dull moment. Some awesome lovescenes, infact they just scorch the pages.
Spectacular

the plot is intriguing and the characters are tremendouslylovable and witty. sometimes He is too harsh and it is not quiteobvious that he fells for her because of his supposed hatred. but anyway, the author manages beautifully in presenting a very readable romance. I couldnt stop until I'd finish it all!
Great again for Michelle Reid!

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.
