Damon Gavros: commanding, Greek...and father of her child!
When Damon Gavros steps into Lizzie Montgomery’s workplace, their searing desire cuts through the heat of the kitchen. Instantly, she’s swept back eleven years to the one exquisite night they shared! He may be the reason she once lost everything, but the irresistible connection between them blazes hotter than ever. Only, there’s one thing Damon doesn’t know about Lizzie...yet.
Damon is sure Lizzie is hiding something, and he’s determined to discover what. From London to Greece, his pursuit is relentless, until he finds out Lizzie’s secret has a name...Thea—and she’s his daughter!
‘That isn’t...’ Heat ripped through Lizzie when he leaned in.
‘Isn’t what?’ Damon said. ‘Fair?’
‘Sensible,’ she said as his lips curved in a smile.
‘Sensible?’ he mocked, sitting back. ‘Is that what you are now?’
‘No one stays eighteen for ever, Damon.’
‘No,’ he agreed. ‘But whatever age you are you can still live and feel and dare.’
‘Oh, I dare,’ Lizzie assured him, angling her chin to stare him in the eyes. ‘I just don’t want to be hurt again.’
‘Hurt?’ He frowned. ‘Do you expect me to hurt you?’
‘I just know I won’t give you the chance.’
‘It was you who stormed off,’ he pointed out.
She couldn’t deny it. She had, Lizzie remembered.
‘Are you going to storm off now?’ he suggested.
‘As I said, I’m not eighteen.’
‘No. You’re much improved.’
The smile behind his eyes had just become dangerous. Being this close to him was dangerous enough without that hard mouth teasing her with a faint smile. Her sensible mind said, Leave now! Move away! Make him take you back to the restaurant! but it was hard to be sensible when she wanted him so much. She only had to move by the smallest degree for their lips to touch, and for Damon’s arms to close around her.
And then she did, and they did, and she was lost.

Eleven years previously...
LIZZIE WAS ON FIRE. He watched her brown eyes blaze bullets at him from the well of the court. She was just eighteen, with flowing red hair and—controversially at this most subdued of gatherings—black leather trousers, a skimpy top, tattoos and a pierced lip. He would have had to be unconscious not to want the force of nature that was Lizzie Montgomery
That didn’t change the facts. This was a court of law, and he, Damon Gavros, was part of the team from Gavros Inc—an international shipping company registered in Greece—attending court in London. He was there to support his father, who was appearing as the chief prosecution witness in the case of Gavros Inc. versus Charles Montgomery, fraudster.
It was a shock seeing Lizzie again in court—though to say he regretted sleeping with her last night wouldn’t be true. Even had he known who she was then, the fire between them would almost certainly have led them down the same road and to hell with the consequences.
They’d met for the first time the previous evening, when Lizzie, obviously distressed, had been refused a drink at the bar where he’d been sitting quietly in a corner, thinking about bringing to justice the man who had tried to defraud his father out of millions. Seeing a woman distraught, yet refusing to go home, and a barman on the point of ejecting her, he’d intervened. Taking Lizzie back to his place, he’d plied her with coffee and they’d got talking.
Lizzie was her name, she’d told him. He’d had no idea she was Charles Montgomery’s daughter. She was hot, funny, and almost too happy to laugh at herself. She was looking forward to college. He was just about to leave college. One thing had led to another, and now it was too late to repair the mistake even had he wanted to.
