Fires of Crete — Adrianna Dane

Unexpected, instantaneous, and combustible attraction. Two strangers meet online sharing a passion for Minoan history. An invitation is extended to holiday on Crete. Andrew Larson, a studious university professor, and Stephanos Angelika, an attractive up-and-coming young Greek executive, finally meet, and an undeniable need blazes to life. They have two weeks to explore this heady level of their relationship. Is it lust or something deeper?Andrew, adopted as a child, has only a medallion that ties him to his Greek heritage, and a faded photograph of a young woman, the name of a village scrawled across the back. He sets upon a journey of discovery, but finds even more than he bargained for when he sees Stephanos awaiting him at the airport on Crete. Stephanos leads a cautious, solitary life as a young gay man leery of living his lifestyle openly, already estranged from a family that has disowned him. It's a huge leap when he invites Andrew to visit. Upon seeing Andrew, Stephanos knows everything will change. Will the weight of past wounds destroy the deepening bond they have come to share? Or will it be love that triumphs?
