Aphrodite's Child Kindle Edition

by Janet Scaife (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Petra will forever cherish the memory of time spent with her lover, Theo, in sunny Cyprus. She loved him with all her heart but lost him much too soon when a torrid night of passion at Aphrodite’s Rock ended in Theo’s death. Despite being an excellent swimmer, he couldn’t fight back against the sea that took him.



Memories aren’t the only thing Petra has to remember Theo by. He left her with one precious gift—her daughter, Cali. Five years later, Cali seems almost otherworldly. She knows things she couldn’t possibly have seen and bears messages from the other side to soothe Petra’s heart.



Petra will rely on Cali for support as she returns to Cyprus and makes peace with Theo’s family. Complicating matters is Angelos, Theo’s wheelchair-bound brother. Petra never realized the torch Angelos carried for her all these years, but her magical Mediterranean visit will unleash long-restrained passions. Angelos has yearned for her, but Petra doesn’t know whether she can give up on the memory of Theo. Can she look toward the future, or is she destined to remain trapped by guilt and time within that one night on Aphrodite’s Rock?

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Romance novelist Janet Scaife drew on her own time in a wheelchair as inspiration for her wheelchair-bound hero, Angelos, in Aphrodite's Child.

Scaife considers herself a thirty-one-year-old hell-raiser trapped in the body of a sixty-eight-year-old grandmother. She doesn't think the two have to be mutually exclusive. She lives in Derby with her husband, Ian, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Scaife won the 1991 Romantic Novelists' Association UK New Writer of the Year Award for her book The Perfect Pirate. She has written several other romance novels and sagas. Scaife is also a psychic medium who is constantly in touch with her spiritual side. She uses this special gift to add yet another dimension to her storytelling.

Hello readers,

I am Janet Scaife, a grandma who still feels 31 inside her head. I began writing way back in the 90s and won The Romantic Novelists Association UK, New Writer of the Year 1991 for my first romance novel, The Perfect Pirate published by Robert Hale. I wrote another romance, then turned to family sagas published by Transworld, until ill health got the better of me and made the physical act of writing difficult.

In 2014 I decided it was time I started again. If James Bond could say Never Say Never, so could I! I began writing again and didn't stop until APHRODITE'S CHILD was finished. I quickly went on to CASANOVA'S, followed by The One Meant to Last and Owls on the Bonnet. I have just finished my fifth book in four years, a regional saga set in Derbyshire, not yet published, and number six is already spinning round inside my head.

I am a psychic medium and have experienced things others would think strange as far back as I can remember. I like to use this part of me in my stories.

I live in Derbyshire in the UK, a beautiful county very close to my heart with its landscape of hills and craggy outcrops.

I feel returning to writing has put me back where I belong and I hope all who read my books get the same enjoyment I get from writing them.

I can be contacted on twitter or at janetscaife496@gmail.com

    Could visualize the setting with memories of Cyprus from many happy holidays spent there with family in Paphos and surrounding area.
