‘Look around you,’ Zoe invited. ‘Does this look like the home of a Greek billionaire’s family?’

Then she caught the brief twist his horribly sensual mouth gave and her offended dignity suddenly caught light. ‘If I wipe down a chair would you like to sit down?’

‘But you lived as his son for the last twenty-three years!’
Anton threw back his dark head in a typically Greek negative gesture, because he so disliked being compelled to disclose anything to do with his relationship with Theo Kanellis. ‘Theo took charge of my upbringing and education and that is all that he did,’ he stated.
