Description
One woman returns to the island that changed her life forever
A-list actress Shauna Jackson has the perfect life. Fame, fortune, marriage. Or so it seems.
Running from a scandal, Shauna flees to the place that changed her life twenty years ago, the idyllic Greek island of Ithos.
Captivated once more by the azure seas and scented olive groves, bittersweet memories resurface of one summer, one unforgettable man, and a long-hidden secret.
Shauna can escape Hollywood, but can she escape her past?
