“Do you, Samantha Telford, take Perseus Kostopoulos to be your wedded husband?”
“Yes. ” With all my heart, she murmured inwardly. No matter how bogus this wedding might be, she loved Perseus. Her part of the ceremony would not be a lie.
The pressure of his hand seemed to tighten a fraction before the priest asked in a solemn voice, “Do you, Perseus Kostopoulos, take Samantha Telford to be your wedded wife?”
“I do,” came the fervent response. Perseus was such a wonderful actor; he sounded as if the vows actually meant something to him. In the next instant he removed the flower garland from her lace-covered head. A strange smile hovered at the corners of his compelling mouth as he found her left hand and placed a ring with one exquisite teardrop-shaped diamond on her finger.
“Make no mistake, Kyria. We’re married in the eyes of God and the world. I’m your husband now. ”

CHAPTER ONE
“I’M SAM Telford from Manhatten Office Cleaners. My employer told me you wanted to see me. ”
Samantha, who preferred to be called by the shortenend version of her name, had been forced to run all the way from her apartment, and had been caught in the middle of an early May cloudburst. She was dripping wet and didn’t dare sit down on any of the upholstered chairs.
The elegant, middle-aged secretary looked at her with vague disdain. “Are you the person who cleaned this office last night?”
“Yes. ”
“Then you’re the one. It’s after two o’clock. You were expected in long before now. ”
“I was in class all morning. My boss didn’t reach me until I returned to my apartment a little while ago. Obviously something is wrong. ”
