The Still Point

Find the still point. It’s what Dr Pat Richardson tells herself every time she picks up a scalpel. Lately, it has been slipping out of reach.

A brilliant obstetrician famous for her unshakable nerves, Pat has spent two years carrying a grief she believes she deserves. When it follows her into theatre, she runs – across an ocean and half of Europe – to a crumbling stone house on Lesvos that her family abandoned long ago. All she wants is silence.

What she gets is goats in her olive trees, a bull with designs on her Jeep… and Robin.
Robin traded her studies, her savings and her life in England for one dream: a sanctuary for the island’s forgotten animals. She found the perfect barn. She just never found its owner. Until now.

One woman wants peace and quiet. The other wants to save every stray on the island. Neither is about to back down. But on an island where storms blow in without warning, a fight over a barn may be the least of their battles.

Warm, witty and achingly romantic, The Still Point is about the courage it takes to stop running – and the love that might be waiting when you do.
