Five days tucked away on a Greek island. Time enough for Anna Jenkinson to determine her future. And then return home.
But when this feisty young woman unexpectedly falls in love with the quaint seaside village of Apokeri, she seizes the chance for a new life. Away from her friends, former lover and a critical father.
However, this beach lovers' paradise is not always what it seems. And Anna unwittingly becomes embroiled in a host of other people's plans – including a matchmaking café owner, a laid-back bike rental employee and a man desperate to escape island life.
Over a sun-drenched summer, Anna negotiates her way through a village full of colourful characters, hidden agendas, family sagas and destructive secrets. But, she inadvertently triggers a series of life-changing events for some residents. And brought face-to-face with her own questionable actions, Anna must decide – how far will she go to protect her new love?

Reviews
Rachael Gray, author of cozy crime Elderwick Mysteries
Reading this wonderful book, I found impossible not to fall in love with Apokeri myself. Jackie Watson paints an enticing picture of a gorgeous Greek island and had me longing to pack my bags and jump on a plane.
Anna is both a fun and interesting character - a younger, modern day Shirley Valentine perhaps. Through sheer force of will and her optimistic character, she wastes no time in building a new life for herself in Apokeri. Soon, she is embraced by the locals and carves out many roles in the businesses they run. But, love when comes along to stir the pot, all does not run smooth.
At its heart, this book is about the heart. About following your dreams, about loving and taking chances. It is about family, and the messy relationships people have with those to whom they are closest. It is a charming read and thoroughly enjoyable.
