On the final day of the hearing to end the marriage born of his gin soaked rebellion and his soon-to-be ex wife's abundant love of his bank balance, the belle bitch called her seventeen year old half-sister Rachel as her final witness. Had Sue's circling sharks been paying attention, they couldn't have missed his tender concern. In seeking to avoid the family tradition of falling in love at first sight, Greek Billionaire Alixander Angelis stepped right into fate's twisted path. After his ex's bed hopping wins his freedom, Alix romances Rachel privately while he waits for her to mature. But she's a Carolina girl who grew up hard so she's older than her years. She gives him an ultimatum - he must court her publicly and claim her fully. Alix had intended to dabble in courtship until she matured. After her demand, he realizes that Rachel's right - Mother Nature doesn't have a watch or a calendar. Besides, since the day Alix retrieved her from a foster home after Sue ignored Social Service's pleas to take her in and give her a home, he's been afflicted, beset and bedeviled by much more than love at first sight. Love brought with it desire, need and lust so strong it's nearly driven him insane. After he claims her the way they both want, he gets arrested for enticing her by email. To defend himself at trial he must display his helpless adoration to a national TV audience and a Myrtle Beach jury steeped in Bible belt tradition. The statute he's charged under provides that at Rachel's age consent is a defense. She could clear him but she disappeared -- after leaving a letter filled with lies. Had he risked his heart and his business empire for love or an elaborate con?
