Up until the age of fourteen, Pippa Pattinson spent every summer vacation in the idyllic fishing village of Taxos on the island of Kos. During countless long, sun-drenched lazy days, she stubbornly ignored thoughts of her future life, which her parents had planned for her - a dull but secure career as a bank accountant and a sensible, pragmatic husband. Instead, together with her faithful Greek friend Nik, she dreamed of owning a small tea room where she would offer guests her own hand-baked English tea scones. When she returns to Taxos after nine years with her extremely handsome fiancé Henrik, Pippa hardly recognizes the dilapidated town. Nevertheless, she is relieved to find traces of the once unique and charming village that she fell in love with so much. When Henrik's employer, an influential development company, presents a project to the locals to turn Taxos into a thriving tourist resort, Pippa and Niko, with the help of their Greek friends, come up with an alternative plan that includes Pippa's afternoon tea shop. Pippa has a unique opportunity to leave the hectic London life behind and pursue what she enjoys most - especially when she feels that all the excitement has been drained from her relationship with Henrik. Not to mention that in the whirlwind of baking and passionate efforts to help locals preserve old traditions, the seeds of love begin to sprout where they least expect it...
