Hot Greek Summer releases March 31!      

What’s the HOT GREEK SUMMER fuss all about? Read  on.

A widow who promised her husband she would find someone new “afterwards.” A friend who pushes her to move on already. A hopeful man with a complex past. Too bad it’s only a two-week holiday and there are no guarantees. Will their love affair last longer than one Hot Greek Summer?

Hot Greek Summer is my first-ever steamy romance. Read the excerpt here!

This is when Cassie first glimpses Stavros. Their meet cute. No, it’s not in the first chapter, nor does she meet him in the second chapter. Be a little patient––I don’t want to give too much away––it’s all part of the surprise package.

You’ll also meet Bea, Cassie’s best friend, and Petros, who’s already the object of Bea’s interest. 

They idled at our table, two dishy, hair-blessed men of a certain age––our age––freshly showered, hair still damp. Looking crisp in their tailored shorts and snazzy, lightweight shirts.

“You found my favorite oasis for dining. And you saved places for us. See, Stavro.” Petros nudged his friend. “I told you.”

Stavros lifted his sunglasses and looked at me in a gesture that hinted at intimacy we hadn’t yet shared. “Yes, you told me.”

Bea finished chewing quickly, her gaze flitting from Petros to his buddy. She patted the seat beside her.

“Oh, we’re interrupting your meal.” Petros hesitated, shifting closer.

“Don’t be silly. We were starving, had a couple appetizers,” Bea hastily explained.

I held the menu in front of my face and tilted it to block the two men from seeing my lips move. Restroom, I mouthed twice, exaggerating the word, hoping Bea would catch on. I needed to talk to her right now.

She was staring up at Petros, oblivious to my distress.

“They have giant color photos on the menu,” I piped up hoping the two men wouldn’t notice my odd behavior. “It was easy to order.”

“Maybe you have some other suggestions?” Bea gestured for them to take seats. “Please, help yourselves.”

Petros and Stavros gazed around at the half-eaten plates of food, the now-cold calamari. Bea nudged me. “Shouldn’t we order some––”

“Please, allow us to order for you,” Stavros said, letting his gaze settle on me, irises a burnt umber like a foggy landscape.

“We order better.” Petros’ smile was genuine. Even so, what were two middle-aged eligible guys doing hanging out at the beach? Didn’t they have lives?

Stavros called for two more place settings. The waiter hustled over, fussing over the four of us. Jolly, cracking jokes I couldn’t understand although they were clearly jokes judging by the hoots of laughter from the two men and a guy at a nearby table.

No longer very hungry since I’d stuffed myself with all those goodies, I wondered if Bea planned to eat another meal, all for the sake of getting chummy with Petros.

This was simply dinner, I reminded myself. Nothing more. After that, Bea and I would take a taxi back to the hotel, even more exhausted after drinking wine and probably that raki, whatever it was. Bea would be ecstatic about having dinner with two handsome Greeks. I needed to suck it up and put on some charm, do this small thing for my friend.

Stavros leaned in, invading my space in a quiet, polite way. “Nice to meet you.” He smelled of toothpaste and a woodsy soap, and his olive complexion was flawless, as if he’d just had a facial. His accent was a softer version of the guttural accented English I’d heard around town, a sexy inflection more than a mode of pronunciation.

“Nice to meet you, too.” God, I was clever. It was all too much, he was too much. Silly, but the man was pretty, manly pretty, and here’s the thing. He was so masculine, his chest a mass of muscle, his shoulders broad like the bow of a ship. Greek godly. What a cliché. Not to belittle Jay, my lanky husband, but I wasn’t used to this high degree of pulchritude.

He crossed his legs, and I made the mistake of glancing over at his thighs for all of a nanosecond. My pulse quickened. No more wine for me. I’d have to pace myself, especially if that raki stuff appeared suddenly.
