About
Sun, sea and second chances are on the cards this summer...
At thirty-three, Nina Pappas never imagined she would be back in her childhood bedroom, but having lost her job, her flat and her boyfriend (to her best friend, no less!) in one disastrous day, that's exactly where she finds herself.
So when her dad, Theo, suggests she join him for the summer in Kefalonia, Nina is more than ready to trade heartbreak for healing - and the concrete jungle for the shimmering Ionian sea. A few sun-soaked weeks under the Greek sky, filled with balmy, thyme-scented evenings and lashings of sumptuous home-cooked food, might just be the reset she needs. And she might even enjoy renovating the house Theo's inherited if it involves working with the irresistible and brooding local builder...
But island life isn't all sea views, sunsets and souvlaki. As Nina finds herself clashing with the determined (yet undeniably handsome!) conservationist, hellbent on derailing Theo's plans, she discovers that starting over is rarely straightforward - and that following your passion is one of the bravest things you can do. That, and recognising real love when it crosses your path...
