A Greek Recipe for Romance
The hard working Assistant Manager at an upscale Manhattan hotel, Abby Dolan not only doesn't get the promotion she was expecting, but is laid off in a downsizing exercise. With time on her hands while she decides her next move, she visits her long widowed mother Jackie who moved to the Greek island of Syros two years ago, there where she continued her real estate business and met her current Greek boyfriend Yannis. In Syros, Abby continually encounters a young local named Theo Christodopoulos, recently arrived back on the island after three years in Paris studying at the Cordon Bleu. Most of their encounters are antagonistic, but paired by Jackie's assistant Cassia, Abby and Theo decide to work together in Theo wanting to open a restaurant in a location that his long deceased mother had a restaurant, she who instilled in him that love of cooking. Abby learns that she is in line for a job with the hotel's expansion that includes food service which Abby has no experience in, while Theo ultimately admits he could use some help on the business and customer service side of the endeavor. As the two start to fall for each other, hurdles, beyond her life back in New York and the potentially getting this promotion, are a secret that Theo is keeping: that he is really Theo Pappas (Christodopoulos his mother's maiden name), the son of one of the richest businessmen in Greece, Nikolas Pappas, who seemingly will do anything to bring Theo back to Athens ultimately to take over his business empire.
