About the Book

A mysterious portrait. Two couples, a century apart. One secret that will change everything. London 1905, celebrated artist John Sutton paints The Quartet, unaware of the passion and betrayal his brush strokes will ignite. A century later, Mark and Abriana—ex-lovers haunted by their past—are drawn together by the image. As they trace the portrait's journey from London to Greece and war-torn Tuscany, the couple uncover a tale of love, sacrifice, and deception that mirrors their own tumultuous history. With each revelation, they're forced to confront the wounds that tore them apart and question whether healing is possible. On the sun-drenched Greek island of Zakynthos, they meet Pavlos, the key to unlocking the portrait's final secret. But as the past and present collide, Mark and Abriana must decide: Will they let the portrait's legacy destroy them, or can they find redemption in its century-old tale of enduring love? A captivating blend of romance and historical fiction that will keep you enthralled until the last page. _________________________________________________ Praise for the Hellenic Collection: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ McHale captures the essence of Greece so well and tells a wonderful story of love and loss. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dougie McHale’s books just get better and better.
