Once Upon a Storm (Struck by Lightning Book 1)

All of Society is wondering: Who is the beauty in the scandalous nude portrait hanging in one of London's most fashionable clubs? Is she truly a member of the ton? Who would be so daring, so reckless?

Julian Delane, Earl of Parkhurst, is so certain he knows the truth that he's willing to make a wager on it. But there’s more at stake—clearing the family name from a scandal that claimed his father's life. Julian believes the ravishing model will lead him to answers.

When former Secret Service agent Alex Stone is asked to impersonate a foreign dignitary who wears a full beard and is rarely seen without his sunglasses, it’s not a problem. But getting someone to impersonate the man’s new bride, a beauty the world adores, is a little bit harder.

Kalliope Ballas and Nikos “Nik” Stevens are not a good match, despite the wishes of Kalli’s mother and the rest of her tight-knit adoptive Greek family.

Kalli’s a shy, slightly OCD fashion designer with a prissy calico cat and hand sanitizer always at the ready. Nik’s a loud and boisterous half-Greek homicide detective with a big sloppy St. Bernard and a devil-may-care attitude. And besides, ever since a freak accident gave Kalli the gift of reading minds, her long-standing low expectations for romance have dipped even further. But when Kalli’s best friend becomes the number one suspect in a murder, the mismatched pair find themselves increasingly crossing paths over the course of the subsequent investigation.
