The Secrets of the Little Greek Taverna

On the sun-drenched shores of the Greek island of Naxos lies a charming guesthouse and taverna, whose doors have remained closed since the untimely death of its owner, Cressida’s, husband. Building this taverna was Cressida's dream, a place where people would gather to enjoy her delightful cuisine. However, her grief was so overwhelming that she was unable to fulfill this vision. Everything changes one fateful night when Jory St. James, a young American woman, arrives on the island, becoming Cressida’s first guest.

Jory's stay on the island initially appears to be a simple holiday escape, but she quickly realises that it will be much more than just a sightseeing adventure. As Jory and Cressida spend time together, a beautiful friendship blossoms, and Jory begins to feel the healing powers of this idyllic island. Alongside the new bond with Cressida, Jory meets a captivating man who nearly sweeps her off her feet, adding a hint of romance to her journey.

However, when a large hotel group expresses interest in purchasing the taverna, the future of this charming locale hangs in the balance. Cressida and Jory must combine their determination and skills to fend off the corporate takeover and bring Cressida's dream to life. Can these two women from entirely different worlds unite to ultimately open the little Greek taverna?
