The Summer We Loved: A story of love, healing and finding home.

By Mr Alistair John Cullen

A crumbling Greek villa. A single mother in need of a fresh start. A summer that will change everything.

When Hannah Cole inherits her late aunt's villa on a sun-soaked Greek island, it feels like a lifeline. Burned out, newly single, and unsure who she is without the weight of her past, she arrives with her ten-year-old daughter and no plan-just the desperate hope that distance might finally bring clarity.

The house is falling apart. The gallery her aunt once ran is shuttered and silent. But the village of Kallithea has other ideas.

There's Eleni, who shows up with wine and wisdom. Millie, who begins to blossom under the Mediterranean sun. And then there's Theo, the quiet, kind local who sees past Hannah's defences and stirs something she thought she'd lost.

But just as Hannah begins to rebuild her life, and believe she might finally belong, an unexpected claim on the property threatens to unravel everything. To stay, she'll need more than courage. She'll need a community. And maybe, just maybe, love.

Perfect for fans of Carley Fortune, Josie Silver, and Sarah Morgan, The Summer We Loved is a deeply emotional, uplifting romance about second chances, finding home, and choosing love-one lemon tree, one brushstroke, one day at a time.
