The Awakening of Alice

Alice Sheldon’s flighty sister had pledged herself to a wealthy Greek. But now that an old beau is suddenly free to marry, Alberta decides, with very little compunction, to break her engagement to powerful Ionides Damoskinos. Alice, kind and demure—but with a heart waiting to be touched—volunteers to travel to Greece and tell Damoskinos of Alberta’s choice. But before her mission begins, Alice is swept into a plan of vengeance orchestrated by one of Damoskinos’ handsome, unrelenting countrymen. In abducting Alice, Stefan Kassandros means to punish Damoskinos’ for a great wrong. And he refuses to believe that Alice’s sister, not Alice herself, is his enemy’s fiancee, especially when his great desire for vengeance turns into a great desire for his victim!
