Born of English and Greek parents, exquisitely beautiful Paris Alexander would become Crown Princess of the Sovereign State of Abu Halide. When the Governing Council of Elders rescinds their permission for her to marry the Crown Prince, her world begins to unravel around her. Heart-broken and hounded by the press and media, she goes into hiding. When tragedy strikes a second time, Paris must find the inner strength to rebuild her life and forge her own destiny. She becomes the Ice Princess and love and happily ever after no longer figure in her plans. Destiny, it seems, has chosen a different path for Paris.
Devastatingly handsome, Alastair Dalton, Chairman of Fenwick Banking Group is out to settle a score. It seems the exquisitely beautiful Paris Alexander intends to make every man suffer for the humiliation of being jilted by the Crown Prince. After eight months, she callously ended her relationship with his closest friend. Now he's out for revenge.
Paris and Alastair are suddenly thrust together and for one week they must set aside their antagonism towards one another as they explore the ancient metropolis of Athens and the Saronic Islands. However, Paris soon discovers that tragedy has marred Alastair's life, and he carries a corrosive secret of his own. As they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another, will they allow themselves to surrender to the fire that burns between them, even though it would constitute a bitter betrayal of his closest friend? Can they also find the strength to ultimately free themselves from the tormentors of their past that still haunt and threaten their future?
