The Epiphany of an Explorer

If you're only on a quest to find a rare tree, how can you expect to find your Aphrodite?When archeologist Alexander, Duke of Westhaven, goes missing while searching for an important Greek artifact, explorer Harold, Earl of Everly, is pressed into service by fellow members of the Royal Society to find him.On his last visit to the island of Delos, Harry was blessed with a visit from a young woman-his very own version of Aphrodite rising from the Aegean Sea to regard him with an arched eyebrow and a simple question that left him so discombobulated, he could barely speak.Born of a Mykonian mother and a British duke, Estelle Jones isn't particularly comfortable in either world. With her father's recent disappearance and no prospects for marriage, she may end up stranded on Mykonos, spending her days assisting her uncle in his hunt for Greek treasures he can sell to Europeans. At night, she remembers the bespectacled earl who nearly broke her foot during a waltz back in London.When Harry arrives on Mykonos to begin his hunt for the duke and to begin his own research, he'll have to learn far more about mythology, antiquities, and Greek goddesses than he cares to know. The search may be worth it, especially if he can find his very own Aphrodite in "The Epiphany of an Explorer".
