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.
