Giovanni
Yannis has become a successful businessman 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. His younger brother, Joseph, is resentful of Giovanni's success and determined to avenge himself. With the help of a beautiful woman, he schemes and plans to bring about his brother's disgrace. His final act of revenge has dire results for all involved.
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 save all of them from shame and humiliation.
The plot widens out even more internationally and into the realms of crime. I think it is incredible the way you construct and move the plot forward, handle the dialogue and the relationships, the scope and complexities of the places and situations. I put you up there with Maeve Binchy, Jeffrey Archer and Colleen McCullough.
