This book is a fast read, beach type book. The plot revolves around mistaken identities and misperceptions and is completely character driven. The characters are interesting, if not too complicated, and the writing is good.When Diona Brown's younger sister, Daryle, takes off for Greece to marry a man she met on vacation, Diona goes after her to stop the wedding. Nikias, the older brother of Daryle's boyfriend, Alexis, is dead set against his little brother marrying a "gold digger", and also plans to put a stop to the wedding. While the young lovers hide under an alias, Diona checks into a hotel under her own name, and Nikias arranges for her to be "invited" to stay at his island home. Diona thinks the invitation is from her sister's boyfriend and accepts the invitation so she can talk them out of the marriage. When she arrives on the island, she's met by older brother Nikias who is convinced that Diona is the woman his brother plans to marry, and he informs her that he plans to keep her prisoner on the island until her flight home. Nikias is sure he has the right woman and no amount of arguing or reasoning on Diona's  part will convince him otherwise.Nikias is disturbed by how much he is drawn to his  brother's supposed girlfriend. He's rich, handsome and a bit of a playboy, but he's never been attracted to a woman like he is to her.  As he and Diona spend time together, he starts to wonder if maybe she's telling the truth, but he won't let himself doubt that he's right. As the mistaken identities get worked out, the broken trust remains an issue, both for Diona and Nikias and Nikias and his brother, Alexis. Until that can be mended and the breaches healed, those relationships have no chance. Working out their trust issues and getting past the perceived deceptions will take a lot of faith and love, something that they don't have much experience with.Heat factor hot.
