Romance had been the last thing in Phyllida Vannick's mind when she began her journey across the Atlantic to the shores of Greece in search of her younger brother. But amidst the bloody revolution that swept across that troubled land, she found herself torn by her love for two men--Brett Renshaw, the brooding Englishman who saved her life, and Alexandros Mavromikhalis, the handsome Greek resistance leader who promised to help her find her brother.
Set in the beginning of the nineteenth century when the Greeks made their desperate bid for freedom from the Turks, GREEK WEDDING is an exciting tale of powerful personalities in conflict, and a deeply moving drama of love and pride--and treachery--revealed against the vivid background of smoldering villages and steep mountain trails overlooking the blue Aegean.

UK Coronet Edition:
A young girl's romantic adventures in the bloodstained muddle of the Greek War of Independence.
The adventure-seeking Brett Renshawe despised the Greeks almost as much as he did women and his relationship with his reluctant protogee, Phyllida Vannick, was a stormy one, since both her brother and her Greek wooer were fighting the Turks. Yet bankrupt as he was, how could he refuse to let her charter his yacht, which bore the name Henlena, his lost lover.
From the dramatic opening, as the Sultan massacres his own Janissaries in Constantinople, to the rousing climax at the battle of Navarino, the fortunes of the characters fluctuate with the tides of war.
