The most tremendous setting... A gorgeous atmospheric coming of age, love story

Julie Caplin, author of The French Chateau Dream

One sizzling hot Greek summer. Two winners. The biggest competition in the world.

It’s the Athens 2024 Olympics and Zeke and Olivia are there to win. 
 
Zeke Moyo is the star athlete of Team GB. He’s in Athens to claim the title of fastest man in the world. 
 
Olivia Nkomo has landed a career-making internship, finally earning her seat at the table. 
 
Then Zeke and Olivia collide – literally – on the first day of the games, and something unexpected begins. 
 
But the competition is stirring up uncomfortable memories from Zeke’s past. And Olivia’s dream job is turning into a nightmare. 
 
Will love become a hurdle? Or could running beside the right person change the whole game? 
 
Set against a sizzling, hot Greek summer filled with sunshine and souvlaki, Rufaro Faith Mazarua’s Let The Games Begin is a page-turning love story that will restore your faith in humanity... and chemistry-filled banter.
