by Lynne Graham, author of The Greek Tycoon’s Disobedient Bride
The Greek Tycoon’s Disobedient Bride is the first in a trilogy of books, called VIRGIN BRIDES, ARROGANT HUSBANDS linked by the theme of siblings reuniting and discovering their parentage but each story stands alone as a romance.
In the background of this first book lurks the sad fact that Ophelia’s mother was jilted at the altar many years earlier by Lysander’s father. Lysander and Ophelia, a keen gardener with a pet parrot, meet at the reading of her grandmother’s will and the sparks fly when they appreciate that they will have to marry to get what they want. Unfortunately they each have a separate agenda, neither is willing to confide that truth to the other and Lysander cannot handle the fact that a dead woman is rearranging his life and stealing his freedom. When the tables are turned on him yet again at the wedding he believes Ophelia must have collaborated with her grandmother to take revenge on his family.
Ophelia thinks Lysander is a cold, ruthless workaholic, who always has to be in charge and she assumes that if she causes him enough trouble he’ll let her have a divorce. But Lysander gradually becomes ever more intrigued by his feisty unpredictable bride and decides that he wants to hang on to her. Ophelia, on the other hand doesn’t know how she can stay with a man who sees matrimony in terms of skilled relationship management. How they find love is shown through a lively plot with twists and turns and secrets to be uncovered.
The Ruthless Magnate’s Virgin Mistress is the second story and stars my first Russian hero, Nikolai Arlov, whom I thoroughly enjoyed creating. The final book is The Spanish Billionaire’s Pregnant Wife and features a Duke and a waitress.
I’m a big fan of luxury settings, alpha male heroes and tough men being redeemed by the love of a good woman. If there’s room to fit a country house into the plot I always will as I love old historic houses. I also like the importance of family to feature in some way in my books.

I love connected stories and a Russian alpha, wow!
Hi Lynne
I can’t tell you how long I have been a fan of your writing.
I have just finished reading this book, and I have to say it was great, I Loved it. Lysander is one of the best Greek alpha’s I’ve read for a long while, he was perfect. His complete obsession with Ophelia, was lovely to read. His puzzlement at the parrot, made me giggle, it was so funny.
Can’t wait for the next.
