The Greek's Innocent Virgin
by Lucy Monroe
US ISBN 0-373-12464-3
May '05 - NA

Greek tycoon Sebastian Kouros thinks he knows all about Rachel Long: she’s a scheming money-grabber who deserves nothing from him or his family.  Rachel has come to Sebastian’s island to claim her inheritance – but although the bitterness between them is ripe, neither is expecting their searing sexual chemistry. Sebastian takes Rachel to his bed, but it appears she’s not the virgin she claims to be. Perhaps now is the time to take her as his mistress, and discard her when he sees fit…

Only Rachel is telling the truth – she’s an innocent and a virgin…

A reader review:
“Lucy, I thoroughly enjoyed your last two published books!  (The Billionaire's Pregnant Mistress and The Italian's Suitable Wife)  You are such an impressive writer!   There are two things that I especially want to applaud you on!  The first is the terrific job you do with your "Alpha male."  In all five of the books that I have read by you, the hero has been a very take charge type of guy, yet you don't have
to hate him before you love him!  Your hero always has a vulnerable side to him that captivates the reader's heart very quickly.  The second area that deserves applause is how well you tell your story from your characters view point.  I would never guess the characters come from your head!    You are very creative and excellent at giving your characters their own voice. . . and you are very consistent!  Thank you for some very enjoyable escapes and lingering ‘feel good’ feelings!” ~ Love and blessings, Katy in the USA

Angele slid around the partially opened door to Zahir’s office. He had disappeared from the wedding feast and she’d known she would find him here.
“Shirking your duty, Prince Zahir?” Her arms crossed over the sweetheart neckline of her short-short Juicy Couture original. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. What would your father say?”
The room was very much like Zahir, masculine, rich and imposing. And yet there was something in the artwork and the old world furnishings that reflected more, something special — an appreciation for beauty that she knew few were aware of.
But while Zahir didn’t pay her any particular attention, she had watched him closely and probably knew more about the real man than most. She still wondered at her ignorance of the secret revealed short months ago.
She’d decided it was willful blindness on her part, but that had not made her feel any better. Only mind-numbingly stupid.
She was a twenty-three year old virgin with no prospects and she knew she was to blame for that fact and no one else. She had clung to hopes and fairytales that never came true in the real world. Her parents’ marriage should have made her realize that.
Zahir looked up from some papers on his desk, his grey eyes widening a fraction at the sight of her. He
quickly stood to his full, imposing six-feet, four-inches. He wore the traditional robes and head covering of a crown sheikh over a tailored Armani suit that did nothing but make him look mouth-wateringly attractive to her.
Not that he was even remotely aware of the effect he had on her. She would have to be on his radar as an actual woman for that to happen.

Take Me
by Lucy MonroeBerkley Sensation October 2006ISBN: 0425212211
"Ever since Lucy Monroe started this series I have been waiting for Jared's story, and TAKE ME more then makes up for the wait. Ms Monroe is one of the few authors who I will read no matter what she writes and TAKE ME is a good reason why. You do not have to read the first two books in this series in order to read TAKE ME, but after you finish you will be running to the store to get the other two." —Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews  (Click for the complete review.)
