Old Ducks Take Flight

When Helen Irving agrees to join her friend Juliette on a trip to Cyprus for a sixtieth birthday celebration, she’s looking forward to sunshine, good food and a welcome escape from her obligations back home.

What she’s not expecting is Sam Rivers.

Years ago, Sam was the man her ex-husband blamed for everything that went wrong in his life. Now, thanks to a freak snowstorm in the Troodos mountains, Helen finds herself stranded alone with a man she’s spent her whole life resenting, while the rest of the party are stuck miles away.

As mishaps and late-night conversations bring them closer, Helen begins to realise that Sam is not the man she thought she knew. But after a difficult marriage and a lifetime of putting others first, can she finally take a chance on her own happiness?
