A Greek Summer Secret

A lost love. A buried secret. And a Greek summer that could change everything . . .Two years after her husband's death, bookseller Helen is finally beginning to breathe again. She has her sixteen-year-old daughter Chloe, her quiet life in Leicester, and the slow, careful work of healing from a marriage that was harder than anyone knew.But there is one memory she has never been able to bury. Two summers ago, in the sun-soaked Greek island of Zakynthos, Helen lost her heart to Nikos — the handsome hotelier whose bright blue eyes and quiet kindness changed her life forever. Their love was passionate, secret, and impossible. And it ended in a way that has haunted her ever since.When Chloe asks to return to Zakynthos as her reward for finishing her exams, Helen knows it’s time to face the past. The moment she walks back through the bougainvillea-draped archway of the Filoxenia hotel, the memories come flooding back — the cicadas in the olive grove, the long blue afternoons, the taste of cold wine at sunset . . . and Nikos, waiting.But Chloe is not the daughter she used to be. Since Philip's death, something has shifted in her — a watchfulness, a sadness that doesn't behave like grief. And as the Greek summer unfolds and old feelings stir back into life, Helen begins to realise that her daughter is carrying a secret of her own. A secret that could change everything they thought they knew about each other.Will this Greek summer give Helen the freedom to love again? And can a mother and daughter, both broken in their different ways, finally find their way back to each other beneath the endless Mediterranean sky?Fans of Emma Cowell, Victoria Hislop and Karen Swan will adore this unforgettable story of family, second chances, and the summer that changes everything.READERS LOVE A GREEK SUMMER SECRET:????? ‘I could feel the sun on my back and the sand between my toes!’ Anne B.????? ‘This story flowed like Greek honey and I couldn't wait to get home after work and read on.’ S.
