Minnie’s next act

Minnie Harper isn’t used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage.

When author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer’s block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist.

But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything.

Review Quote

“The literary charms of Sullivan’s superbly written debut are many, including a full cast of deftly nuanced characters, an exquisitely evoked Italian setting that would impress E.M. Forster, love scenes that deliver both emotional intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious writing enhanced by ample measures of wit.” –Booklist Starred Review
