Ari cupped her face in his hands. “Through the toughest of times, you’ve been there for my family. The only reason my dad could leave to support my mother was because he trusted you to take care of things. And then when both Yasmin and Nick took over, it was you who kept things consistent and helped everyone navigate their own challenges.”
Grace smiled up at him, her soft skin glowing in the sunlight.
“And now we get to support my parents renewing their vows under a beautiful Greek sky, a place where their dreams first began, and it couldn’t be more perfect.”
Grace linked her fingers through his and reached up on tiptoe to place the most sensual kiss on his lips. “You know how you make me feel, Ari Katsalos? Standing on this sacred place with people that you love?”
He dipped his head so their mouths were inches apart.
“Like a princess, in my own Aegean Palace. And the best part is that it isn’t all a dream.” She breathed deep then let it out slowly. “It’s my own personal happily ever after.”
Ari kissed her perfect, smiling mouth. “And let’s go and witness another.”

About the Author
Barbara DeLeo’s first book, co-written with her best friend, was a story about beauty queens in space. She was eleven, and the sole, handwritten copy was lost years ago, much to everyone’s relief. It’s some small miracle that she kept the faith and is now living her dream of writing sparkling contemporary romance with unforgettable characters.
After completing degrees in psychology and English, then traveling the world, Barbara married her winemaker hero and had two sets of twins.
She still loves telling stories about finding love in all the wrong places, with not a beauty queen or spaceship in sight.
