Desperately trying to deny the mounting passion he feels for Jessica Stanton--otherwise known as The Black Widow--Greek billionaire Nikolas Constantinos falls in love with her but is afraid of her dark and disreputable past. Jessica Stanton --otherwise known as The Black Widow-- had once been a wife in a marriage rocked by scandal. But in Nikolas Constantino's arms she found a peace she had never thought she would know. His lips told her of the delights that were to follow, his hands led her down a path of surrender and desire. Greek billionaire playboy Nikolas Constantinos intended to conclude the business deal with Jessica, love hadn't been part of his plan. A hot affair or a one-night stand was all he'd allow. Because marriage to Jessica, a woman with a scandalous past, could ruin him. But love was the one thing he couldn't control.
