The Secrets of the Little Greek Taverna

Escape to the island of Naxos with this beautiful debut novel about finding friendship and love in the most unexpected of places.

On a sun-kissed Greek island lies a gorgeous guesthouse and taverna that never opened. It was Cressida's dream to fill it with people enjoying her irresistible food - until her husband died suddenly and she was too lost to keep going. Then a young American woman named Jory St. James arrives on the island in the dead of night, and somehow becomes Cressida's first guest.

Jory quickly discovers that this trip will be more than a sightseeing adventure. Her friendship with Cressida blossoms, and she meets a man who quite literally sweeps her off her feet. But when a hotel group offers to buy the taverna, it's going to take all of Jory and Cressida's drive and expertise to stop that from happening. Can two women from different worlds find a way to finally open the little Greek taverna?

The most delightful book you'll read all year - let it whisk you away to a place where dreams take flight.
