The Aegean Betrayal - The Aegean Vows Trilogy, #2

Investigative journalist Sofia Demetriou has two rules: protect the source, and never trust a Kallias.Then a secret account leads her to Theo Kallias—the charming, infuriating shipping heir she has spent years dismissing as a beautiful distraction. The account bears his genuine signature. It also carries the mark of the mother who vanished from his life eighteen years ago.For Theo, AION 4 is more than evidence. It may be his only chance to learn why his mother left—and who profited from keeping them apart. For Sofia, it is the investigation that could expose a corruption network stretching from Athens to Malta's Freeport. Their uneasy alliance comes with strict rules, shared danger, one secured hotel suite, and a fake engagement neither of them can perform without wanting something real.But desire is simpler than trust. When a leak from Sofia's newsroom exposes a protected source and Theo makes a desperate bargain behind her back, their investigation fractures at the worst possible moment. With hostages aboard a command vessel and a loaded freighter closing on the harbor, Sofia and Theo must decide whether love means protection—or the courage to leave the final choice in another person's hands.Set between Athens, Gozo, and the moonlit harbors of Malta, The Aegean Betrayal is a spicy rivals-to-lovers billionaire romance with forced proximity, family secrets, romantic suspense, and a hard-won happily ever after.This is Book Two in The Aegean Vows Trilogy. Sofia and Theo's romance is complete in this volume, while the larger Kallias family mystery continues in Book Three.
