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.
There
was nothing Parker liked better than
a
great party. Well, almost nothing. He did like winning a ball-busting
polo match and the satisfaction of a great grape harvest.
He
stared out at the party he’d arranged for his brother’s birthday.
The band blared out a brilliant cover of “Stand by Me.” Dancers
shouted and raised their hands over their heads on the dance floor,
and Beau gave him a thumbs-up from across the room.
But
his thoughts weren’t caught up in the swirl of lights, pulsing
music and celebrating dancers.
Five
minutes before the first guests had arrived, Juliet’s email had
arrowed into his life, upsetting the smooth facade he preferred to
show to the outside world.
He
hadn’t heard from Juliet since the day of the Sommelier
shoot, two and a half months ago. Except
for her formal thank-you for his donation to the seal rescue center.
On letterhead. Typed.
A
week later he’d sent her the email announcing the party for the
First Flight launch. He’d added a postscript reminding her that if
she ever needed him, all she had to do was ask. She’d responded by
checking the response box that said Not
Attending.
Though
he appreciated what social media made possible for marketing his
business, he preferred old-fashioned, face-to-face communication. It
left less to interpretation.
To
the imagination.
He
didn’t blame Juliet for taking off without saying goodbye. Just as
he couldn’t be angry with his sister. He regretted his insensitive
remarks, but by the time he’d heard of their conversation, the
damage had been done.
Perhaps
Zuri’s truth-telling had been for the best. He wasn’t
relationship material. And a woman like Juliet deserved a man who
was.
After
the wine launch, he’d thrown himself into hard riding, harder work
at the vineyard and crafting the perfect elaborate party for Beau’s
birthday. As if the fiendish buzz of busyness would salve the regret
that tugged at him.
He
skirted the dance floor and walked along the rose-lined garden path
that led to his library. A tap of his finger and Juliet’s message
lit his computer screen.
Her
simply worded email alarmed him.
I
need you for a matter of great importance. Come to Zantos.
I’ll
explain when you arrive.
The
three short sentences were already pulling him across the thousands
of miles to Greece. Knowing her, she’d had to swallow her pride to
even ask him for help.
He
owed her. Big-time. More than she knew.
The
magazine cover and five-page article had shot First Flight and his
vineyard to world prominence. He’d sold out the vintage and had
orders for the next. The cover photo of him and Juliet kissing had
gone viral. No one could buy publicity like that.
He
stared at the cover he’d had framed to hang on the wall of his
library. Like a sentinel guarding a world beyond his grasp, the cover
glared at him, mocking him.
How
could memories be both delicious and disturbing at the same time?
He
could still feel the lushness of Juliet’s lips and the heat of her
skin beneath his hand. He’d loved the spunky way she’d sparred
with him. Loved?
Maybe too strong a word. He wasn’t sure he was cut out for that
fine emotion.
He
ignored the voice of warning whispering in the depths of his mind as
he put his fingers on the keyboard. She’d asked for help, he would
give it.
With
a few clicks, he had a reservation for a flight to Athens the next
evening. And a flight out to Zantos Island after he had time to clear
customs. Another few clicks, and a few typed words that didn’t
reveal any of the mixed emotions roiling through him, and he’d
informed Juliet of his arrival.
