Description

Twenty years ago Selena Smith saw Shirley Valentine and developed a chronic phobia of having a plate of chips and egg shoved in her lap by an ungrateful husband. Since then she's successfully avoided becoming one of suburbia's lost housewives by relentlessly travelling the world as an excursions rep on a luxury cruiseship.It's the perfect drudgery-free life! But with her 36th birthday approaching she finds herself experiencing a strange sensation - how can she be feeling homesick when she has no home? And why has she agreed to spend a week on a Greek island with one of the ship's most notorious womanisers? It looks like his officer and a gentleman routine could land her in deep tzatziki ...
