Yannis has become a successful business man with a number of hotels. He has taken his resourceful nephew, Giovanni into partnership. Giovanni is full of ideas to improve the business. He has only one failing - he is susceptible to a pretty face.

Marianne, Annita's grandaughter, visits Athens with her friend and meets relatives who were previously unknown to her. Elizabeth finds the city romantic in many ways. Later they both visit Crete, which has unexpected consequences for Marianne.
Yannis's loyalty to his extended family saves all of them from shame and humiliation.
"I become so involved in the plot of each book that I await the outcome as anxiously as if the fictitious characters were my own family."
