The Flight of the Dragonfly
Heartbreak, redemption, and the courage to love again
After a devastating betrayal, Grace escapes Edinburgh for the sunlit shores of Lesvos. Among ancient olive groves, she meets Vasilis, a widowed father with his own hidden scars. Can Grace find the courage to trust love again, or will her pain keep her heart closed forever?
A heartbreaking loss, a chance at redemption, and the courage to love again.
In Edinburgh's rain-swept streets, Grace thought she had found her forever in Jamie—until a devastating betrayal shatters their marriage and forces her to question everything she believed about love.
Fleeing to the sun-bleached shores of Lesvos in Greece, Grace seeks solitude among the island's ancient olive groves. There, she finds Vasilis, a widowed father whose quiet strength and mysterious past begin to thaw her frozen heart. But as their connection deepens, shadows from both their histories threaten to destroy their fragile new beginning.
In a place where centuries-old traditions clash with modern hearts, Grace must decide: Will she let past betrayals define her future, or can she find the courage to trust in love once more?
The Flight of the Dragonfly is part of the Hellenic Collection by Dougie McHale. Set against the dramatic backdrops of Scotland and Greece, The Flight of the Dragonfly weaves an unforgettable tale of love, betrayal, and the powerful journey of self-discovery.
Perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse, Lucinda Riley and Jojo Moyes.
