One Summer in Serifos

By Alex Forgetwell

One house. One summer. A choice that will change everything.

Ava had the perfect Manhattan life-or so she thought. As a high-flying creative VP, she dealt in trends, skyscrapers, and cold hard data. But when she inherits a crumbling stone ruin on the Greek island of Serifos, she leaves the glass towers behind for a world of salt, dust, and ancient secrets.

She expected a quick renovation and a faster sale. She didn't expect Nikos.

A local carpenter with eyes the color of a stormy Aegean sea, Nikos is as rugged and unforgiving as the cliffs he was carved from. He has no patience for "American Princesses," and he's determined to prove that Ava doesn't belong among the stones of his ancestors.

But as Ava digs through the ruins, she discovers more than just dry rot. Hidden letters from the past reveal a forbidden love story that mirrors her own growing connection to the land-and to the man helping her rebuild it.

When her old life comes calling with an offer she can't refuse, Ava faces an impossible deadline. With the village at her back and the Mediterranean sun above, she must decide: will she return to the safety of the world she knew, or risk everything for a love built on a foundation of stone?

Escape to the sun-drenched shores of Greece in this captivating story of belonging, betrayal, and the courage to start over.
