THE APHRODITE AFFAIRS: LOVE'S LOST PAST

Available now from The Dark Castle Lords

In Love's Lost Past, we follow Jason, younger brother to Raphael, the hero of Circle of Love. When Jason goes home to Greece for the long vacation -- he is studying at Yale U. -- he meets Lexi, with whom he falls in love, and they have an idyllic few months together. When Jason's father finds out, he ships Jason back to Yale in his private plane, without giving his son a chance to tell Lexi why he had to leave.

When Lexi discovers she is pregnant, she appeals to Jason's elder brother, Raphael, who looks after her, and lets her study accounting. She proves herself excellent at her work, and in due course Raphael invites her to become his accountant in chief for all his enterprises.

This will require a move from Athens to Florida, where Raphael - and Jason - live.

When Jason and Lexi meet at last, he is incensed that she kept her pregnancy secret, he would have come back and married her. His 8-year old son, Raph, adores his father, somewhat to Lexi's dismay. She wants to be the only parent in her son's life. Jason reveals her innate selfishness in denying him his rightful place as Raph's father.

Realizing Raphael may not want to employ a woman who is so ungenerous to his brother, she agrees to a marriage in name only, for the sake of her son.

When Lexi has to fly to New York to initiate changes in accounting, Jason's father forces a meeting with this common conniver, as he calls Lexi. Terrified, she phones Jason for help.

Will his help consist of protecting Lexi by throwing his father out of the apartment, or will he stay to help Lexi surrender to the love there was, once, between them?
