Named for a goddess and just as beautiful, Athena Penrose was bound for Greece, the land of her dreams...Gladly foregoing a season in London, she embarked on a trip to the Parthenon to fulfill her parents' dying request that she carry their ashes to the temple. Athena and her brother employed as their guide an expert -- Sable Herriott, cool, indifferent, arrogant in his scholarship. Athena bristled at his manner and resented his disdain... little dreaming that soon she must rely on him as her sole protector -- even pretend that she was his wife!
