Anna Makris appears to have it all. Fiercely protective of her daughter and husband, she’s spent ten years keeping her past and its secrets hidden. But cracks are starting to appear in her idyllic Lefkada life because someone no longer wants to play along with the happily‑ever‑after façade. Buried truths strain to break free but at what cost to her family.
Thousands of miles away in Thailand, a seasoned con artist grows bored of easy targets. Hungry for a challenge, he sets his sights on a quaint Greek island fishing village… and the ex‑wife he betrayed once before. His arrival in Apokeri ignites tensions and emotions Anna hoped were long dead.
Meanwhile in Italy, the mistress of a mafia don gives birth to a child who isn’t his. Forced to flee Brindisi, a childless wife and her unfaithful husband risk everything to protect baby Elora — and so begins a deadly game of cat and mouse. With trust shattered and motherhood thrust upon her, Dominique must decide how far she’ll go to keep her new family safe… or whether fear, guilt and old loyalties will destroy them all.
Where sunshine meets secrets, one baby’s arrival could shatter lives in Apokeri.
If you love compulsive, suspenseful women’s contemporary fiction, and adore Greek-island escapes, dive into Saving Elora today.
