Eight years after divorcing her childhood crush, Helena is having a hard time coming to grips with the strong attraction she still feels for her ex-husband.  But Andreas is still hurt and angry.  When circumstance and family matters bring them into contact, the sparks fly.

Set among the splendor of Cyprus, Margaret Blake’s FORTUNE’S FOLLY is a heartwarming story of second chances and a love that cannot be denied.  The setting for this story was beautiful.  A warm, tropical, relaxed island in Cyprus where Helena and Andreas both grew up provide a tantalizing setting rich with the promise of love.  Into this splendid setting, add two very different but lonely people.  Take away a few roadblocks to romance and you have FORTUNE’S FOLLY.

Helena is a wonderfully tortured character.  She has known Andreas all her life.  Their families were very close and when he finally saw her as a woman, she happily married him.  Then tragedy struck and things came to light that threw her life into a tailspin leaving her marriage in ashes. 

Now she is a wiser and more mature woman who has learned to take care of herself but has never gotten over her first and only love.  Andreas is an equally compelling character.  He is strength and action, money and power.  He is blond and blue-eyed and every woman’s dream man come to life.  When he finally realizes he should have fought for his wife, he comes through as the hero we knew he could be and attempts to win back his lady love.

Margaret Blake’s FORTUNE’S FOLLY is a wonderful little escape to a tropical island and love revisited that romance fans are sure to enjoy.
