[The Summer of Aphrodite 01] • The Summer of Aphrodite

When free-spirited Nathalie moves to Cyprus, birthplace of Aphrodite, she is the catalyst for change for three very different women: Cat lover Ginnie is looking for Mr Right but keeps making alcohol-fuelled errors of judgement; expat-wife Anna finds her sex-life lacking and is convinced that her husband is hiding something from her; while estate agent Tanya dreams of marrying someone sexy, rich and preferably famous. As the summer heats up, Nathalie and Anna embark on a passionate affair, Tanya gets drawn into a world of lusty but lucrative hedonism, while Ginnie has to avoid a compromising video from going viral. When Nathalie is troubled by a recurring nightmare, she discovers their neighbour Douglas, a new age guru, meditating in the moonlight. Barred by the Russian mafia who run the sea-front hookers, Douglas is looking for sexual escapism wherever he can get it. Could he be the force behind their sizzling-hot summer, or are they just falling under the spell of Aphrodite?
