Read The Island Daughter Chapter One

July 10, 2020 by Helena Halme

The Island Daughter, Book 3 in Love on the Island series is out later this month, but I thought I’d share with you a little sneak a peek from the novel. Read on to find out how you can download The Island Daughter Chapter One today!

The Island Daughter

The Island Daughter

When past secrets shatter your present, how do you face your future?

After her dear stepfather has a fatal heart attack, Alicia returns home to the Åland Islands to support her mother, Hilda. She leaves behind a new life in Stockholm with her lover, Patrick. 

But when her lover’s ex, Mia, the daughter of the local property magnet, makes moves to rekindle her relationship with Patrick, Alicia is torn between duty and her own happiness.

Alicia’s hopes of a brighter future are further dashed when deeply buried family secrets surface. How can she forge a new life when everything she believed to be true about her past is a lie? 

Meanwhile, Alicia’s best friend, Brit, has her own problems. After a life spent footloose and fancy-free, traveling the world working on cruise ships, she’s both horrified and delighted when she sees the thin pink lines on a test tube. But how can she have a baby with a man she’s only known for a matter of months?

The Island Daughter is perfect for fans of the Neapolitan novels by Elena Ferrante, Everything We Keep by Kerry Lonsdale, and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. The third novel in Helena Halme’s Love on the Island series, it can also be enjoyed as a standalone read. 

Join Alicia’s small island community for another installment in the “captivating” new series set on the most picturesque of Scandinavian islands. Once you enter her world, you’ll never want to leave.

What The First Readers Say

I like the unpretentious prose and the lack of filler. It is detailed without becoming boring and is atmospheric. The setting again is wonderful, and the characters complex. Helena Halme is very good at writing scenes full of tension.

An intriguing book that keeps you reading. Loved it. Don’t miss out when it’s released!

Chapter One

I can now share with you an exclusive first chapter of The Island Daughter. The action starts immediately from the first paragraph, and I can’t wait to share the beginning of the story with you. One reader said:

I was hooked from the very first sentence. Mia turning up on Alicia’s doorstep instantly set the scene and got my attention. I was wondering how Helena Halme will manage to keep the initial interest alive throughout the book but she did it perfectly. Twists and turns kept coming right till the end.

And then there were six! I can hardly believe it m And then there were six! I can hardly believe it myself that the Love on the Island series is now complete. Well, for now anyway - I’ve learned never to say never.

Last time I ended a series (The Nordic Heart), I went back and wrote another book because I had so many requests from readers to carry on. 
✍🏻☺️
I have to say, I’m already missing Alicia and her island friends (and enemies😆). Perhaps I will revisit them all next year, who knows…
