Hills of Kalamata — Anne Hampson

Kidnap Greek businessman Charon Drakos? The outrageous plan was basically weak Sarah Gilmore thought, but she felt obliged to help her girlfriend.

As with so many well-laid plans, it backfired. It was Sarah who was kidnapped, and whisked off to Charon's grim, fortress-like home in a remote and primitive part of Greece.

Her spirited resistance seemed only to amuse him. "Whether you like my kisses or not," he informed her arrogantly, "you're going to accept them. You are my wife, Sarah; and in Greece marriage is permanent."

Hero: Charon Drakos
Heroine: Sarah Gilmore
