The Lady of Tarpon Springs
Ebook
Much to the dismay of her Greek family, Zanna Krykos makes a
living as a lawyer in Tarpon Springs, Florida. When her friend Lucy
needs legal advice about the business she inherited upon her
father's passing, she ends up asking Zanna to run the business
instead so she can focus on her medical career.
Nico Kalos is a Greek diver who has worked on sponging boats in the
Aegean Sea since the age of 14, giving him a vast knowledge of the
trade. When he hears of an opportunity to lead a group of spongers
to the United States, he seizes it. But his excitement is quickly
quelled when he arrives only to discover that a young woman with no
experience in the business will be in charge of the new
crews.
But as Zanna and Nico face even more complications than they could
have imagined, they must learn to work together or risk everything
they've worked so hard for.
From the Back Cover
In 1905 Tarpon Springs, Florida, Zanna Krykos values the
independence her career as a lawyer gives her from her very
traditional Greek family and the pressure they put on her to find a
husband. When a friend inherits a sponging business, Zanna finds
herself agreeing to run it for her . . . even though she doubts her
legal skills make her qualified.
When offered the chance to lead a team of sponge divers to the
United States, experienced Greek diver Nico Kalos can't imagine a
better opportunity. But his excitement quickly quells when their
team arrives only to discover that a young woman with no experience
will be their boss. For the sake of his men and the families they
support, he can't let the business fail.
But when both the business and the lives of the employees are
threatened, can Zanna and Nico set aside their pride and come
together to save what matters most?
"An intriguing romance heightens Zanna's life and the reader's
appreciation. The Lady of Tarpon Springs is a nice read
related to the actual deep-sea diving for sponges in Florida's
history."--Historical Novels Review
