‘Gavin!’ Petra almost stumbled down the steps of the castle in her haste to reach her wan-faced, shaken-looking brothel who was easing himself out of the passenger seat of Stelios’s car. ‘How are you?’ She hugged him, laughing and crying at the same time. ‘Did they treat you all right? Darling, you’ve lost weight…!’

All the heartache and worry of the past few days faded into insignificance as her eyes devoured his pale features, and his rakish young frame trembled within the circle of her arms.

‘I’ve not yet recovered from the shock of being released into the custody of my future brother-in-law!’ He slewed a glance that was far from friendly towards Stelios who was standing a few yards away, regarding their rapturous reunion with a look of amused tolerance. ‘It simply isn’t your style to act on impulse, Petra,’ he condemned in a low-pitched mutter. ‘You’ve been on the island less than a couple of weeks, yet I’ve just been informed that tomorrow you intend marrying that damned arrogant Greek!’

Her heart sank at the note of petulance in his tone. Gavin had always adopted an aggrieved stance whenever any of her actions had displeased him. Obviously, he was far from overjoyed at the prospect of having to share her affections with any other man—and especially not with a husband who would be entitled to first call upon her loyalty. Though every instinct was urging her to assure him that he had not been relegated to second place in her affections, that far from being in love with her, Stelios Heracles was merely exchanging one prisoner for another, the close proximity of dark, watchful eyes forced her to limit her response to a reproachful shake and an artificially bright suggestion.
