Rencontres #16

In "La déesse du feu," Line Bailly, the secretary to wealthy shipowner Max Stanopoulos, finds herself on a seemingly idyllic Greek island retreat with him and his associates—Paul Stanopoulos, Jean Drot, Maria Nakis, Kristaki Nakis, and the enigmatic Tina. Beneath the island’s tranquil surface, hidden tensions and mysterious dealings simmer, tangled with unexpected romantic currents. But when the island’s volcano erupts, the fragile peace shatters, forcing Line to confront both the dangers of the earth and the secrets buried in the people around her.

Lydia Parin never expected to inherit her uncle Frank Parin’s fortune—especially not from a distant American cousin she’s never met. When Steve Owens arrives with the news that her uncle’s estate has passed to her, she’s stunned, then elated, as she prepares to leave her old life behind. With her future uncertain and her heart racing, she’s about to board a plane to New York, where a new chapter begins—though not without questions, and perhaps a few surprises.
