Floral Fantasy owner, Ari Levington, spends her first day back from her Grecian trip, busy creating floral arrangements without even stopping for lunch.  Because of her scarred body, the result of a horrifying car accident, Ari prefers to labor in the rear workshop, away from patrons with sympathy in their eyes for her.  Ari yearns for her prior life with friends and a potential family of her own.

The Greek God of Healing, Asclepius, who in human form is Dr. Thanos Soterios, is determined to lay bare Ari’s inner beauty.  Thanos loved her when he consulted on her three years of recovery and when she visited his temple, weeping out her loneliness.  Arriving at Ari’s house at the end of her first work day, Thanos set about seducing Ari and proving to her that the scars did not matter, he loved the beauty he saw inside her heart.

Under Her Skin is compassionate and sensual.  Mary Winter warms the heart with this tender romance.  This is a great story that inspires love and hope. Very enjoyable.
