Scarlet Poppies
SHE WAS LIKE THE SCARLET POPPIES...PROUD...PASSIONATE...TRUE ...
Beautiful designer Iris Patakos had fulfilled her dream of a career in the fashion capital of the world. But a wealthy, powerful stranger was to sweep her from New York City to the opulent splendor of the Greek isles. Gregorios Venizelos, whose eyes blazed with black fire, whose lips seared hers in a timeless promise of sensual mystery had stolen the heart Iris had vowed never to give.
Yet even as Greg's passion held her a helpless prisoner of her own desire, Iris waited for the words that did not come. Was Greg bound to her only by honor, or did he return her love—a love as savage and fiery as the ancient island that had captivated her, body and soul?

A delightful romance. A bit predictable, but enchanting nonetheless.
There was even spinach on the very.last.page!!!!!
The cover bothered me as she was supposed to have black hair and the cover depicts a blonde.
