For a community of British ex-pats settled in the rural Akrotiri region of Crete, living the dream is what it’s all about. Life is pure sun, sea and sand with a bit of work thrown in for good measure.

But for newcomers Ed and Lauren and their two small children, the dream takes a sour turn when their paths cross with devious property dealer Jeremy and his frosty girlfriend Susannah. And they’re not the only ones who begin to question whether a life in the sun is all it’s cracked up to be…

Becoming a travel rep in Crete is the best decision Georgie has ever made – especially when she starts a steamy affair with her landlord. However, when she bumps into an old adversary, she can’t resist a spot of sweet revenge and things soon start to get out of hand.

Meanwhile, restaurant owners Becky and Yiannis are finding their love-struck teenaged daughter Sophia too much to handle. And their good friend, lonely artist Stafford, discovers there is one person who is the ongoing source of all their troubles – but will he be able to stop the culprit before it’s too late?
