One Greek village. One year. One last chance to belong.
When Chris Evangelou loses his job in Edinburgh and finds himself drifting through an empty life, a letter from a dying uncle changes everything. Yiannis, the last guardian of a kafenion that has stood in the same Cephalonian village square for over a hundred and fifty years, has one final wish, that Chris come to Greece and keep the family tradition alive.
Just for a year. After that, he can walk away.
But the sleepy island is not the postcard Chris imagined. The regulars resist change, a sleek new café is stealing what little business remains, and then there is Elinor, beautiful, fiercely independent, and carrying the scars of a marriage she barely escaped. As Chris falls for her, he begins to sense she is hiding a secret that could put them both in danger.
Set against the sun-bleached squares and shimmering Ionian Sea of Cephalonia, Heartland is a tender story of second chances and finding where you truly belong
Perfect for readers of Victoria Hislop, Patricia Wilson, and Jojo Moyes.
Genre: Historical
