His smile chilled her. “You may have pulled the wool over my sister’s eyes, but I know exactly who and what you are.”
    Confusion and fatigue melted away her anger .  Fearing her legs would give way, she sunk into her seat. “You don’t know the first thing about me.”
    Leo’s brow rose .   “Oh, but I do, Sam. I do. I know all about you,” he added, tapping the papers he’d been reading when she’d first walked into his office.
    Before she could ask him to explain his peculiar comment, the phone on his desk rang and he answered it. Almost immediately, his expression softened as he spoke to the person on the line.
    “ Malista… Ke ego… Tha se tho se ligo, Katina. ”
    Sam felt an odd lurch in her stomach. His girlfriend, soon to be his fiancée, she thought. She stared down at her hands, feeling oddly bothered by the sound of his warm tone.   
    When he put down the phone, he didn’t waste any time. His voice was hard and uncompromising again and she lifted a weary gaze to him. “About those ground rules,” he said.
    “Yes,” she replied, defeated and spent.
    Leo was right, Sam conceded silently. Even if she did find a flight back, she couldn’t go home now. Toni would undoubtedly find out her brother was at the house and she would form her own opinion, not unlike the one Leo had accused Sam of spreading. And—Sam realized with a sinking feeling—Toni would undoubtedly refuse to come next month.
    Sam couldn’t have that on her conscience, no matter how much she disliked the idea of being in this house with Leo for two weeks. It was imperative Toni and John visited the Stefanos clan next month so everyone could see what a wonderful man John was and how happy he made Toni.
    She held Leo’s gaze, refusing to waver under his displeasure. For a moment, she thought she detected a strange flicker on his face, like a puzzlement of sorts, but it disappeared so quickly, Sam realised she must have imagined it.
    “Breakfast is served at eight,” he began brusquely, “lunch at noon, and dinner at six. If you are not present at those times, you will have to fend for yourself. Maria has enough to do without having to cater to your every whim.” He paused, almost as though he expected Sam to voice an objection. She maintained her stony silence and he continued while she fought the whirlwind of emotions in her.  “The library is at the door on the left in the hall. You may borrow any books you wish to read, but I want them returned where you found them. You may also visit the stable and ride one of the mares. The stallion, however, is off limits, Sam, as is the rest of the house.  Understood?”
    “ Yes.  Will that be all?”
    “No. Do not expect me to entertain you while you are here. There is a beach down by the port and the markets and shops in town are only a ten minute drive. I can lend you the Volvo parked in the garage if you prefer to drive.”
    Sam kept a tight rein on her emotions. “If there’s one thing you can be certain of is I will not be seeking out your company.”
    “Good. Then we are perfectly clear with one another, but be warned, Sam. Break any one of my rules and you will have me to answer to.”
    “I don’t like being threatened , Leo.”
    A haughty brow went up. “On the contrary, Sam. As long as you abide by my rules, I do not see why you should not have an enjoyable stay here. The port offers sailing and boat rides, you can rent pedalos to get around the island, and we have many tavernas that offer excellent food. As well, Corfu has many historical and archaeological sites you can visit. The Grave Monument of Menekratis is not far from here.  It was constructed in the sixth century BC and you will find the history connected with it fascinating, as all the monuments and archaeological sites in Greece.”
    “You leave me no choice but to stay.” She couldn’t keep the bitterness out of her tone.
    “Ah, but you do have choices, Sam,” he said softly. “You could
