About the author
Hello,
I live in England, on the Kent coast, and I love the wide beaches and big skies. Romney Marsh is close by, a place where sheep outnumber people. Walking with my two dogs is my favourite part of the day and the time when stories unfold in my mind. If only they leapt onto the computer screen as easily!
I read my first Harlequin Mills & Boon romance when I was a teenager and was immediately swept into the wonderful world of pure escapism, glamour, excitement and of course passionate and intensely emotional romance that is classic Mills & Boon. My own tall, dark and handsome hero zoomed into my life when we were crazy kids. Forty years of marriage and six children (now adults) later we are still as different as chalk and cheese, a carnivore and a vegetarian, an engineer and a daydreamer, and still crazy about each other!
As a child I was an avid reader, and also wrote my own stories. Later, when I was knee-deep in babies I read mainly romance novels so that for a few hours I was whisked away to a Greek island or an exotic Caribbean location with a hero and heroine who enjoyed a champagne lifestyle and sizzling passion while they found their way to everlasting love. What's not to like?
In my twenties I wrote and submitted a few books and was invited to meet a Mills & Boon editor. But family life came first and I wasn't ready to pursue my dream of becoming an author. Years later, and struggling to cope with the loss of my darling mum, I saw a competition in a magazine to write the opening paragraphs of a Mills & Boon romance. Mum had always encouraged me to write so I entered the competition and was one of six finalists out of thousands of entries. I received a prize of some bubble bath! Inspired by that little bit of success, I wrote a full manuscript based on my competition entry because I wanted to know what happened to my characters. After another two submissions I was stunned to get a call from an editor who said that Mills & Boon wanted to buy my book. It was incredibly exciting and definitely a dream come true. That was in 2006, and now I am on track to write my fiftieth book. Writing is sometimes fantastic and more often frustrating but I still feel very privileged to be able to share my stories with readers.
My ideas come from everywhere; newspaper articles, films that trigger a 'what if?' moment, books I have read and felt annoyed that the characters didn't do what I wanted them to - which is the reason I started writing! Ideas can come from something as small as seeing the sparkle of sunshine on a window, across the bay. In that instance it made me imagine a heroine who remembered the sparkle of the diamond engagement ring her fiancé had given her when he'd proposed. But she had discovered that he didn't love her and planned to marry her to get his hands on her family's hotel. Of course the heroine was a hot-air balloonist! Don't ask me why - she just was! (The Greek Wedding She Never Had). That's the fun of writing, there are no limits to your imagination.
So that's me, writer, dreamer, dog lover and grandmother of two gorgeous little grandsons. The biscuit tin is calling and I must answer that call!
Best wishes from Chantelle xx

But the Sara who returns to him is not a woman he recognizes at all. She’s cut her hair, gotten a total clothing makeover and now looks like someone he’d squire on his arm to any number of society parties. He suspects it’s a new man in her life, and is surprised at the spark of jealousy he feels. Her attention to the job is the same – but now he can’t keep his eyes off of her.
After working without a vacation for so long, the death of her mother is Sara’s last straw. She’s received a startling revelation – her father is a well known politician with whom her mother had an affair, and had kept the secret of her pregnancy until on her death bed. Revealing the truth to him, her father invites her to stay with him in France and Sara’s vacation, already planned, takes a bit of a detour. Her father’s wife recently passed away and his two children Frederick and Charlotte are unaware of his infidelity and for now he wants to keep it that way, not ready to reveal to the world that Sara is his daughter. But seeing photos of her half sister makes Sara aware of how dowdy she looks in comparison and this is what prompts her total makeover. And she can’t deny that after having a crush on her boss from afar, she’s hoping he’ll see her in a new light when she returns. And he definitely does!
The spark of attraction lit between them won’t be put out easily, and leads instead to an intimacy neither saw coming. When Sara reveals to Alekos who her father is, Alekos realizes that he can use the information to his advantage for business purposes. A fake relationship looks to be beneficial for both of them as it will also give her access to her half siblings without having to reveal her relationship to them – but what happens if they start to have real feelings for each other?
This is my first time reading this author and I enjoyed how everything came together. Sara’s reasons for getting a makeover were her own decisions, not prompted by a male telling her how she looked, which I definitely appreciated. I found the connection between Alekos and Sara believable and their chemistry leads to some sexy love scenes. Alekos’s brother died when he was younger and Alekos believes it was suicide due to a broken heart. This has tainted all his relationships with women and made him leery of commitment so he struggles with his feelings for Sara.
The latter half of the story deals with a lot of issues – Sara’s family, Alekos’s family, Sara’s job and desires for her future, Alekos’s company problems, and the conflicts between the show they are putting on for the public as a committed couple versus the reality behind the scenes. It all adds up to an entertaining plot, lovely settings (including some aboard Alekos’s yacht and his Greek island hideaway), a sexy romance and an eventual happy ending. If you like workplace romances with handsome Greek devils and competent, smart women, you'll enjoy this story.

Sara had been Alekos’ PA for two years and was in love with him; he valued her abilities and loyalty but didn’t see past her drab clothes and hairstyle. Then Sara made some changes, when she came back from a holiday her hair was shorter and styled, her clothes fitted, bright and fashionable. Alekos was shocked by the changes and the impact her new appearance had on him. How would he cope with working with her now?
They were both wary of relationships, Alekos was a paid up member of the love them and leave them brigade and Sara was nervous of any kind of relationship, less she fall into the same trap her Mother and be left with a child.
Their story reminded me of M&Bs from forty or so years ago, spiced up by the sexual relationship, that in those days was barely implied. An office romance. the characters were likeable but there wasn’t anything about the story that I found compelling.
