Love & Olives

by Jenna Evans Welch

First published 2020

Liv Varanakis receives an unexpected postcard from Greece. Her father abandoned her eight years ago, leaving behind only painful memories and their shared fascination with Atlantis. Now he wants her help with a National Geographic documentary about his Atlantis theories. Liv reluctantly travels to Santorini, dreading the reunion she never wanted. The awkwardness hits immediately. Years of questions and buried emotions surface when she sees him again. She refuses to get pulled back into his obsessive world. Theo, her father's confident young protégé, watches her every struggle, making everything worse. Santorini works its magic anyway. The island's turquoise waters, glowing sunsets, and sun-warmed villages begin to charm her. The local food delights her. But perfection proves elusive on this Greek island. Liv gradually uncovers the truth behind her invitation. Her father brought her here for reasons that have nothing to do with lost civilizations and everything to do with what matters most.
