The Shadows of Rhodes series opens with Helen and Morgan, old friends and traveling companions, struggling to get to their destination in Rhodes, Greece. Everything seems to go wrong. By the time they reach Rhodes and find their feet, two days of their two-week vacation was wasted, plagued by the traveler's nightmare. They are rescued by a taxi driver in the middle of the night while they walked toward civilization. Helen finds an attraction to their taxi driver that seems to awaken feelings in her that she hadn't felt in a very long time. In a less than ideal marriage arrangement, Helen struggles to resist the Greek taxi driver. She is drawn to him and yet she knows that she will be going home soon. The purchase of an old photograph in a souvenir shop, coupled with an undying curiosity into things better left buried, has Helen unaware of the value of her find. As "The Beginning, " the first book of the series unfolds, elements that surround the photograph begin to intrude on an otherwise perfect vacation. With the help of the friendly taxi driver and his family, Helen is able to learn part of the story of the child in the photo. News that the framed photo has been found by tourists, becomes known to unscrupulous thugs. While a burning attraction to the taxi driver has her fighting his magnetic pull on her, the asking of questions about the child and the little picture stir odd reactions to the photo. Pursuing answers, Helen ignores the warnings to "leave it alone." When threats become a serious concern, Dimitris has to protect Helen from going too far, which plants him deeply into Helen's heart.
