Not that there’s a connection or anything, it just made me think. The hero’s full name, Alexander Doumas (Greek) made me think of ‘The Three Musketeers’ writer, Alexandre Dumas (French). And it left me in a happy daze at the end. But as they both let their guards down with the shared intimacy, Mia’s pregnancy announcement and Mia’s little ‘sister’ Suzanna’s surgery, do they find their happiness?ġ999 – Yep, it is that old! But it did warm the cockles of my heart. While Mia puts Alex in the same category of males as her father (what with the prenup he has drawn up), their wedding moves forwards with a sex fest. But Mia discloses her actual motive behind this sordid deal much later, while she presents herself as a very selfish person to Alex. Alex’s motivation is clear from the beginning, and becomes more plausible, as he reveals the truth behind his desperation to own the land. And for this, he coerces the hero, Alexander, who is desperate to buy his family’s island (which is one of Mia’s father’s possessions). He wants value for money: she will give him the wedding night that, so far, she's denied him.The story has an unconventional beginning where Mia, the heroine, is literally sold/prostituted by her ‘father’ for a male heir (to replace his dead son). However, when Helen refuses to share his bed, Xander is forced to take his headstrong wife to his private Greek island to tame her into keeping her marriage vows. But Xander thinks he knows a good deal when he sees one. Xander Pascalis can buy anything.including a wife! At millions of dollars, Helen is lavishly expensive. But it seems Andreas wasn’t quite the answer to her prayers – he was certainly prepared to deceive his new bride! He offered to marry Claire and adopt Melanie. When Claire Stenson met Andreas Markopoulou she was desperate, trying to look after her baby sister alone.
