📘 Gift of the Gods

by Judith McWilliams

CUPID IN DISGUISE Sophie Fontenelli was an expert on ancient Greece, not adolescent schoolgirls. So when asked to chaperone high-schoolers abroad, she was at a loss-especially when one of her blond "innocent" charges decided to test theories about romance and draped herself over Greek tycoon Philip Stephanos's hotel bed. Glaring at Sophie across his bedroom, Philip was intrigued. She was like nothing he'd ever encountered--part protective tigress, part elf. He persuaded her to excavate a ruin on his family's island, and there she found something more valuable than buried artifacts--a love inspired by Venus herself.
