When one of her closest friends invites her to be a bridesmaid in her London wedding, Olive jumps at the opportunity to tour Europe and reinvent herself. Unfortunately, Olive's first stop in the gorgeous city Athens, Greece is met with a worker's strike and an embarrassing coffee spill in front of the most handsome man she's ever met, Alex Georgiou. Why does Alex's name sound so familiar? And what secrets is he hiding? As Olive attempts to unravel the mystery of Alex, Olive learns that leaving the tennis world behind will be harder than she thought. She must decide if opening herself up to love is worth the risk.
