Aphrodite's Child Janet Scaife

Petra will forever cherish the memory of time spent with her lover, Theo, in sunny Cyprus. She loved him with all her heart but lost him much too soon when a torrid night of passion at Aphrodite's Rock ended in Theo's death. Despite being an excellent swimmer, he couldn't fight back against the sea that took him.

Memories aren't the only thing Petra has to remember Theo by. He left her with one precious gift-her daughter, Cali. Five years later, Cali seems almost otherworldly. She knows things she couldn't possibly have seen and bears messages from the other side to soothe Petra's heart.

Petra will rely on Cali for support as she returns to Cyprus and makes peace with Theo's family. Complicating matters is Angelos, Theo's wheelchair-bound brother. Petra never realized the torch Angelos carried for her all these years, but her magical Mediterranean visit will unleash long-restrained passions. Angelos has yearned for her, but Petra doesn't know whether she can give up on the memory of Theo. Can she look toward the future, or is she destined to remain trapped by guilt and time within that one night on Aphrodite's Rock?
