Judith Gould - The Greek Villa (Softcover)

Tracey Sullivan is a hardworking news writer for a minor Miami TV station but has hopes of becoming a published author. She lives with her eccentric father and has a handsome, moneyed fiance, but suddenly her world comes crashing down: her fiance has another girl; publishers reject her novel; she ends up having to report on her father's death; and foreclosure is imminent on her home. Her only luck comes when she is offered a job in Santorini, Greece, as a ghostwriter for a famous B-movie star, Urania Vickers, who may or may not be her real mother. She takes the job to save her house and to find out if this woman is her mother, but while Urania is a B-movie star, she acts like a class-A bitch. Her stern housekeeper is straight out of a gothic novel, and a mysterious locked tower adds to the melodrama. Lots of obstacles stand in Tracey's way and put her in danger.
