Publication Date: June 3, 2024
Is this villa in Greece a disastrous fixer-upper… or a dream come true for Claudia?
After receiving a life-changing inheritance from a beloved, quirky older relative, thirty-two-year-old Claudia ha
But, arriving at her new home on the gorgeous Greek island of Corfu, Claudia is met with a shock. The cracks look more like chasms, plants are growing through the tiled floor, and the view of the sparkling blue sea would be perfect – if there was a window instead of a hole in the wall.
With the local villagers thinking she’s mad to take on the villa, Claudia panics she’s made the biggest mistake of her life. Until local builder Dimitri comes to her rescue… Between his caring nature, his rippling muscles and deep brown eyes, Claudia can’t believe she’s found her knight in shining armour. And they grow close over glasses of Greek wine beneath the stars, after long, hot days working on the villa.
But just when Claudia begins to see a future with Dimitri, his ex-girlfriend throws a spanner in the works. Though he reassures her that it’s over between them, Claudia starts to feel like he’s keeping secrets. Then a pipe bursts, flooding the villa, and all Claudia’s hopes are dashed at once…
Should Claudia call it quits and head back to her old life? Or is Dimitri hiding the perfect surprise, one that could help Claudia finally build her dream life in Greece?
Fans of Sarah Morgan, Jenny Colgan and My Mamma Mia Summer will love this gorgeous holiday read, which will sweep you away to the stunning beaches of Greece.
An unexpected family inheritance opens the door for Claudia to make her dreams come true with a move to Greece.
Author Sue Roberts showcases the beautiful landscape of Corfu in The Greek Villa as Claudia buys a home, planning to fix it up.
The author does a phenomenal job with the depiction of Claudia’s character. At 32, she doesn’t have any love interests preventing her from moving to the island. Yet, in fulfilling her dream, she realizes the house requires extensive renovations.
What ensues is a classic tale of girl meets boy, who, in this case, happens to be Dimitri, a local builder. He helps Claudia with her vision, but just as she thinks her happily ever after is in reach, trouble brews.
The Greek Villa delivers a delightful summer beach read full of laughter and romance.
Sue Roberts lives in Lancashire with her long term partner Derek and has had a lifelong love of writing, encouraged by winning a school writing competition at the age of 11.
She always assumed that ‘one day’ she would write a book, always having a busy household and a job, the idea remained firmly on the back burner but never forgotten.
The inspiration for her first novel came to her on a holiday to a Greek village. Her daughters had left home and suddenly the time had come to write that book!
