While on a walking holiday through the beautiful, deserted hills of Crete, Nicola Ferris stumbles across a critically injured Englishman, guarded by a fierce Greek.

Nicola cannot abandon them and so sets off on a perilous search for their lost companion - all the while being pursued by someone who wants to make sure none of them leave the island . . .

Soooo Good!!!

Wow! This story was so full of twists and turns. I loved it, and thought I hated it, and then loved it again. I’m very glad that I stumbled upon this book. It is a new favorite!

Romantic Suspense

Watched the Disney movie with Hailey Mills as a kid and didn’t realize it was a book until 1990. I have read it almost every year since! One day I’ll visit Crete and experience Mary Stewart’s Greece. Romantic suspense at its best.
