Two lives bound by love and sacrifice, across decades, across an island, across time itself.

Carissa thought she had escaped her past when she fled Edinburgh for the sunlit island of Skiathos. But her peace is shattered when her former partner finds her, determined to drag her back into his control.

Her only strength lies in the friendships she forges with Thomas, a WWII veteran who carries the burden of betrayal and loss, and with Demitris, who offers the love she desperately needs. As Thomas recounts his wartime mission, where danger, loyalty, and love collided, Carissa finds the courage to stand against the shadows threatening her own life.

A gripping dual-timeline novel of love and survival, The Island Between Us will appeal to readers of Kristin Hannah and Victoria Hislop. A standalone in The Hellenic Collection, it is perfect for fans of sweeping historical stories, emotional journeys, and the enduring power of love.
