The price of becoming his: total surrender!

Lycos Dimistrios played his way from desperate poverty to enormous wealth at poker tables across Europe. It is, therefore, by ruthless judgement not luck that he wins an opponent’s Provence estate, and everything in it — including breathtaking natural beauty Arielle Degrange. He immediately resolves to take possession of her too...

Arielle has no such determination to become Lycos’s mistress. Her beloved home might be his, but she can’t be bought! Though the harder Arielle tries to prove her disinterest, the faster she’s yielding to the Greek’s potent brand of seduction...

About the Author

Mills & Boon novels were Julia James' first "grown-up" books she read as a teenager, and she's been reading them ever since. She adores the Mediterranean and the English countryside in all its seasons and is fascinated by all things historical, from castles to cottages. In between writing she enjoys walking, gardening, needlework and baking "extremely gooey chocolate cakes" and trying to stay fit! Julia lives in England with her family.
