"Life can be very complicated." That's Paula Andrews'
answer every time someone asks about her relationship with
Nick Papadopoulos. Paula and Nick were high school
sweethearts, but that relationship went awry when Paula's
mom misled Nick about what Paula would do and where she
would go when she finished college.
Paula now owns her own business, a candle and soap shop in
Tarpon Springs, Florida. She and Nick grew up here and all
of Nick's family still lives here. Actually, they own most
of the town, along with the bakery, a restaurant and a
sponge boat business. She is finally content with her life,
loves her church, and is extremely happy with her business.
It hasn't always been like that for Paula.
Nick left Tarpon Springs and his domineering family eight
years ago to join the Air Force. A military career had
always been his dream. He's been away all these years,
except for a few brief visits, but is home on leave now for
a little more than a month. He is determined to reclaim his
relationship with Paula. He could never get her out of his
head. His family is just as determined as well.
Debby Mayne has penned an inspirational and
delightfully romantic tale in SWEET BAKLAVA. She explores
relationships in regards to trust, compassion and previous
experiences. Paula never had family she could trust to be
there for her. Can she and Nick merge their hopes and
dreams and make this work? Will their faith see them
through a rocky road? There's a wonderful bonus at the end
of the book you will love, several Papadopoulos Family
Recipes, all mentioned in the story, including Sweet
Baklava.
Paula Andrews has finally found her niche in life, with only
one thing missing—true love. When Nick, the heartthrob of
her youth, returns home on military leave, she sees that he
has no desire to join his family in the Greek community
where the men work on the sponge docks. However, without
each other, their lives seem incomplete. Is it possible for
them to rekindle what they once had?
