Business and pleasure donโt mix well, or do they? When family duty and obligation stand in the way of your dream, which will you choose?
Carol, a high-flying executive, who has made a very successful but rather lonely life for herself and her little ginger tabby called Sappho, in Tokyo, is on her way home for a friendโs hen party and weddingโฆ back to her critical, guilt-inducing motherโs hotel in Skala Eressos, Greece. In preparation, she has steeled herself against the all too familiar family politics and age-old battles sheโs sure sheโll need to face. However, what she hadnโt anticipated, was coming up against Lisa Loweโa gutsy, enthralling and completely gorgeous lifeguard turned sports-coach and part-time tour guide from South Africa.
Lisa had left Cape Town, her business and her unfaithful girlfriend with no commitments, planning to sail around the Med and just have fun. But when she landed in this little seaside village, she soon fell in love with it and its vibrant, welcoming community of locals and women from all over the world, so much so that she was looking to settle there. There is only one problem: the formidable matriarch and owner of the big resort at the other end of the beach, has started to make some unwelcome changes, drawing Lisa and a little band of locals into a battle to preserve their livelihoods.
Things rapidly get complicated, and it becomes clear that Carolโs duty and responsibility towards her mother and the family business will put her and Lisa squarely on opposite sidesโunless Carol can come up with a win-win solution. This is perhaps one โboardroomโ battle Carol would be glad to loseโฆ
