Romance

Cassandra Baker is a child prodigy on the piano with the ability to create powerful and beautiful music. Though gaining notoriety and fans around the globe, Cassandra has always hated performing. After the death of her father, the man behind her success, Cassandra removes herself from the public eye, becoming a recluse who only records in the studio. Once a year, she offers her time for lessons at a charity auction giving others a chance to benefit from her knowledge. Usually the benefactor is an aspiring pianist, but this time a business partner pays a handsome price for his best friend to fulfill his childhood dream of learning to play the piano. Neo Stamos and his best friend, Zephyr, come from the streets of Greece to become business tycoons running their real estate company worldwide. Neo is not happy when Zephyr feels Neo needs time away from his carefully controlled environment to learn to play the piano. The moment Neo goes to his first lesson, he is taken with Cassandra's quiet beauty. Unfortunately, his own notoriety brings the paparazzi to her door proving her security is lax and his protective streak is alive and well. At first, the thought of having a woman as a friend is beyond Neo, but as their friendship progresses, Neo is unable to get the phrase "friends with benefits" out of his mind. THE SHY BRIDE is a smoking hot story with a sexy Greek hunk and an independent, intelligent woman going against the odds of an impossible relationship. Zephyr's story is one I can't wait to read.
