The Fountain of Daphne - William Gordon - Bog

On the surface, Nick Taylor had everything going for him. A successful, highly-rated restaurant plus his status as a celebrity TV chef gave him an affluent lifestyle. He shared this with his wife, an ambitious TV presenter, until one day a chance remark caused Nick's world to fall apart. An acrimonious divorce, sued by the TV company, and losing his restaurant, has left him with nothing. He vows never to set foot in a kitchen again or let any woman near him. Nick is convinced matters can't get any worse when he receives some information which casts doubt on his past. With nothing more to lose he leaves for the Greek island of Tritinos to discover more, and to gain solace from his troubles. There, he encounters Milena, feisty taverna owner, outspoken in her dislike of men and ferocious in her loathing of chefs. It seems that Milena and Nick have nothing in common - except that both of them have witnessed the rare appearance of the Fountain of Daphne, a waterfall reputed to have mystic properties.
