She came to Greece to help plan a proposal… not to fall in love.
Can a holiday heal a broken heart?
Divorcée Kate is determined to show she’s perfectly fine without a man. To prove it, she throws herself into helping her son with his picture-perfect proposal on the sunny island of Corfu. But when her over-the-top plans start to go hilariously wrong, Kate finds herself stumbling into the arms of the oh-so-dashing Pericles.
As Kate embraces the laid-back Greek lifestyle, she begins to wonder maybe it’s her turn for a little romance. Could Pericles be the key to mending her heart and giving her a second chance at love?
Escape to the sublime in this laugh-out-loud adventure of self-discovery, mishaps and unexpected romance.
