Then she let the truth be sealed.Yannis Petrou has guarded the Kallias family for eleven years and loved Lydia for twice as long.

Forced into a dangerous investigation from Piraeus to an abandoned island signal station, Lydia and Yannis must uncover what happened during Helena's final nine days, restore the name of the woman buried in her place, and confront the decorated admiral who built an empire on blind water.But the greatest threat to their second chance is the habit they share: deciding alone what the other can survive.The final book in The Aegean Vows Trilogy is a steamy, emotionally mature second-chance romance filled with buried evidence, Greek-island danger, hard-won trust, and a complete happily ever after.
