About this ebook

Mick Laughlin can handle anything – except a broken heart. He never understood why the girl he loved in college suddenly turned her back on him and he’s avoided romance ever since. Now a top young architect at his family's firm, he’s been sent all over the globe to work on elite projects.

Four years ago, Melina Lakkas fell in love with her younger brother’s best friend. When his family made it clear they would never accept her, she walked away. It was a no-win situation, which would have been made worse had they discovered her secret.

When Mick takes on the design and execution of an exclusive resort in Santorini, he plans to stay as far away from Athens—and Lena—as possible. Then a fire at the job site leaves him with no choice but to call on his best friend’s sister for help. As secrets from the past unravel, can Mick forgive her long enough to forgive himself?

Ratings and reviews

Perfect second-chance romance! Mick and Lena find themselves working together, four years after she disappeared on him and broke both their hearts. Her reappearance in his life coincides with the impending unavoidable revealing of her biggest secret, so she's beyond vulnerable and filled with trepidation for what the future holds for her family. Mick just wants answers - he doesn't know what he did to send her away, and as much as he wants her back, he really just wants to know she's OK. When he figures out what happened, wow! He turns into a Man On A Mission and woe to anyone who stands in his way! I loved the romance, I loved the way Mick took on his family in defense of His Family. The secondary storyline surrounding his father's business was very well done, with its own unexpected secrets and surprise twists. This is a terrific summer read, though I enjoyed the book so much I do wish it was longer. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I love reading novella's when I get into a funk or need something to read while I'm waiting for another book. I read this blurb and decided I needed to take a chance reading this. I'm glad I did. This book was so easy to read. You can't help but fall in love with Mick and Melina. Oh and let's not forget Mihalis! This book was full of love and friendship, along with suspense. It will definitely hold your attention. Though this book is #2 in this series it can definitely be read as a standalone, as that is what I did. If you're looking for a great short read definitely try this one out.
