Alex Drakos is in love with life again. Plans for his new hotel and casino on the Florida Panhandle are underway. His budding relationship with Kari Grant, his smart, African-American girlfriend, is moving along swimmingly. So swimmingly that he begins to make plans for a longer-term commitment.

But when dangerous situations begin to hound him, and the new lease on life he had only just begun to enjoy is threatened, he knows he has to take action. But action, for a man with Alex Drakos's background, always involve danger. But not only for himself this time, but also for his new ladylove. And when he asks Kari to accompany him to his homeland in Greece, to meet the parents, he is gravely concerned that she may no longer want to have anything to do with him, after that meeting.

In the second episode of the Alex Drakos interracial romance series, Alex and Kari find themselves in a battle of wits with not just outside forces, but Alex's own family.
