With NO
STRANGER TO LOVE, USA Today Bestselling Author Pamela Aares delivers another
page-turning contemporary romance in the Tavonesi Series featuring love,
suspense and adventure!
Juliet Cabot is no stranger to
trouble, but she never imagined that her work defending endangered sea turtles
on a beautiful Greek island would turn deadly. Threats to her life force her to
call for help from the man who's haunted her dreams for years—wine country
landowner and international polo star Parker Tavonesi.
Parker owes Juliet big time for
getting him out of a fix in the past. Handsome, resourceful and fearless, she
trusts him with her life but she vowed she would never trust him with her
heart. When danger enshrouds them and warm island nights cause their bottled-up
passions to flare, Juliet's every fantasy could become reality . . . unless the
dark secrets of a sultry paradise prove fatal, not just for the struggling sea
turtles but for Parker and Juliet as well.
HOT WATER DRUMMING ON PARKER’S SHOULDERS helped to melt away the thick fog of jet lag, but the pelting shower didn’t dissolve the truth that needled at him.
Two truths, if he was going to be honest with himself, which he always tried to be.
The first was that Juliet was definitely hiding something from him. He’d discerned that fact from her body language and the skittishness that laced through her words. Her campaign—and the party she’d dragged him here to orchestrate—had an underbelly. One that she wasn’t owning up to.
But the second truth was harder to admit.
Somehow, sometime since he’d last seen Juliet, the attraction he’d felt for her during the Sommelier shoot had morphed into something more, something unfamiliar. A more powerful fascination. He’d be a fool to ignore the warning signs.
He was no stranger to love, knew the power of attraction. But when Rachael had walked out of his life, he’d sworn he’d never again fall prey to delusions—his or anyone else’s. If he hadn’t been so smitten, he might’ve detected earlier that she didn’t truly love him. Out-of-control attraction could blind a man. Skew the truth and blur reality. It could lead to mistakes and pain. And he’d be damned if he was going to be duped by its power ever again.
He’d help Juliet with her party. Not only did he owe her, but he had a hell of a soft spot for ocean animals. He’d work with Juliet’s team and put together the best possible event. And the day after the party, he’d head back to California. End of story.
He shook the water from his hair and stepped out of the shower. A breeze blew in through the open doors of the balcony; he wrapped the towel around his waist and stood at the doorway. Blue. So much blue with sky and sea stretching to the curving horizon. He stared at the crescent of white beach, a ribbon of sand that was about to be the focus of a heated battle if the talk he’d heard on the ferry was true.
Juliet called up from the lobby. He dressed and met her at the front entrance. She didn’t protest when he insisted on driving the rental car he’d had brought over to the hotel, which was a plus. The last thing he needed if he was going to keep a cool head and careful guard was to wrap his arms around her and ride off into a balmy, sultry evening.
