The latest bestseller by Robert van Dyke on Amazon!
A romantic coastal mystery full of emotion, suspense, and the salty summer breeze of East Frisia.
Antje van Doorn imagined her life quite differently. Instead of building a career in Munich, she suddenly finds herself back at her mother’s old butterfly farm—surrounded by withered petunias, unpaid bills, and a hometown she swore she’d never dream of again. But there’s no time for second thoughts: the nursery is on the verge of collapse, threatened by a delusional home improvement tycoon and a debt collector with the charm of a chainsaw. Meanwhile, across the North Sea, Englishman Jonathan Murphy is battling a storm, an identity crisis, and an overly ambitious sailing route. Spoiler: it doesn’t go well. And it leads him straight to Greetsiel. What happens next? Let’s just say—between mistrust, old wounds, and that little thing called love, a summer begins that couldn’t have been scripted if it tried. Will Jonathan survive—and save Antje? Or the other way around? Does the butterfly farm have a future? And… is it okay to fall in love when everything else is falling apart?
A novel like whipped cream—sweet, airy, with surprising depth. And a reminder that sometimes chaos is the only real compass… all set in the heart of East Frisia.
A romantic mystery full of suspense and emotion: As a complicated love begins to blossom and a ship faces danger at sea, the idyllic butterfly farm teeters on the edge. Threatened by the ruthless schemes of a hardware store mogul, a dramatic race against time begins. Can the ship be saved? Can the nursery be rescued? And does love stand a chance?
Step into a world of intrigue, passion, and hope.
