The Greek Villa
by Judith Gould

New York Times bestselling author Judith Gould, widely praised for her "impossible to put down" (Booklist) novels of romantic intrigue, delivers her steamiest blockbuster yet as a young woman's new-found love is threatened by old family secrets on the sparkling white coasts of Greece....

Tracey Sullivan's comfortable life in Miami has been shaken by the two men she trusted. Weathering her boyfriend's betrayal is difficult enough, but her father's suicide has left the aspiring novelist to face a bitter realization: that her life has been a lie. Among her father's possessions she finds her birth certificate with a different name and a photograph of her mother—the woman who abandoned her, and whom her father never spoke of. Yet she's immediately recognizable to Tracey—the phantom beauty is Urania Vickers, once one of the most famous movie stars in the world.

In a magnificent Greek villa overlooking the Aegean Sea, Urania is planning a comeback. She's writing a long-awaited novel that's sure to become an international bestseller—if her agent, the handsome Mark Varney, can find the right talent to ghostwrite it for her. He has. It's Tracey Sullivan, his up-and-coming client in the States. Desperately in need of a change, and answers to a lifetime of questions, Tracey embraces the irresistible opportunity. What she finds upon her arrival in Santorini is a possessive diva who refuses to divulge the mysteries of her past or share the spotlight of her success. Nor is she willing to share Mark. But as Tracey searches for the truth about her family, she discovers more than she bargained for, including true love, scandalous secrets, and murder.

From the hot club scene of South Beach to the shimmering landscape of the Greek isles, this is Judith Gould's most fabulous escape yet into a breathtaking world of passion and suspense.
