Passenger from Greece

She was looking for freedom. She found trouble.

Olivia Reid is a stunning, savvy flight attendant determined to break free from the overbearing control of her Jamaican family and explore the world. Her mantra is liberation, her stage is the air, and her next destination is Bogota. But on a turbulent flight, her carefully planned life is thrown into chaos when she encounters Niko Kostas—a gorgeous, exotic passenger from Greece.

This is more than just a whirlwind first love story. Behind Niko’s enchanting hazel eyes and potent sexuality, lies a dangerous path that leads Olivia far from the safety of her life and deep into international intrigue. Author Norma Jennings delivers a gripping woman’s fiction thriller that explores complex family dynamics, gravely flawed decisions, and the high price of chasing forbidden romance. Passenger from Greece will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Excerpt

Olivia stumbled to her feet in mud and debris after her frantic and agonizing ride down the emergency slide. A hand grabbed her arm and steadied her as she landed—it was Maria, the only other surviving flight attendant. Welcome to the bowel of Hell, she thought, staring down at morass, shoes, and body parts. She was bruised and battered; blood seeped from the skin on her belly. Damn! She’d take care of that seat belt wound later. Her behind and calves were on fire from the rapid drop down the hot plastic slide splattered with sweat, blood, and terror. She was without shoes and warm, soft mud seeped through her trembling toes. Dear God, please don’t let there be leeches in this mud—and if you save us from snakes and crocodiles, I promise to praise your name forever, she prayed.

“Norma Jennings has done it again! She takes us on a journey that has us sitting on the edges of our seats and wondering what will happen next. In her inimitable style, Jennings bonds us with Olivia, and while we may disagree with the choices our heroine makes, we love her nevertheless. But in Olivia’s defense, who can resist a passenger from Greece? This novel is truly a woman’s fiction thriller with romance, and an excellent read.”
—Dr. Bernice deGannes, College Professor
“Norma Jennings, writes with such insight, into family dynamics: mother-daughter, and inter-generational relationships that it just about takes your breath away. And the exquisite prose! As an avid Jane Austin fan, intensely fine and precise writing such as we have in Passenger from Greece, I would re-read passages: some aloud—just to savor the sound and sensation they made.”
