Apokeri Bay

By Jackie Watson

Escape to Greece with an irresistible page-turner about love, friendship and heart-wrenching decisions that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Five days tucked away on a Greek island. Time enough for Anna Jenkinson to determine her future. And then return home.

But when this feisty young woman unexpectedly falls in love with the quaint seaside village of Apokeri, she seizes the chance for a new life. Away from her friends, former lover and a critical father.

However, this beach lovers' paradise is not always what it seems. And Anna unwittingly becomes embroiled in a host of other people's plans – including a matchmaking café owner, a laid-back bike rental employee and a man desperate to escape island life.

Over a sun-drenched summer, Anna negotiates her way through a village full of colourful characters, hidden agendas, family sagas and destructive secrets. But, she inadvertently triggers a series of life-changing events for some residents. And brought face-to-face with her own questionable actions, Anna must decide – how far will she go to protect her new love?

Apokeri Bay is one of the debut novels of 2023 and the first part in a trilogy. If you love women’s contemporary fiction, grab your copy soon and be transported to Anna’s world in beautiful Lefkada.
