A Moth to the Flame

A shared past. A life-changing secret. Can love find its way back?

1992

For Brodie, happiness feels real for the first time during a summer in Edinburgh with Elora, the woman who changes everything. But, after a devastating betrayal, Elora returns to Greece, leaving behind only a note with two haunting words: Forgive me. Brodie is forced to move on, despite his unanswered questions.

2018

Twenty-six years later, the sudden passing of Brodie's wife leaves him shattered but determined to carry on—he has survived heartbreak before. Then, a chance discovery of a photograph changes everything. Elora, now a bestselling author, is living on a sunlit Greek island. Drawn to her once more after all this time, Brodie embarks on a journey from Edinburgh to the olive groves of Greece, seeking answers and rekindling feelings he thought long buried.

But as the spark between them reignites, Brodie uncovers truths about their shared past that could either heal old wounds or deepen the divide between them forever. To move forward, Elora must summon the courage to confront the secrets that have haunted her for decades. She must find a way to tell Brodie the truth of what happened all those years ago, and hope that forgiveness is still possible.

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Greek islands, A Moth to the Flame is a poignant story of love, betrayal, and the enduring power of second chances. Part of Dougie McHale’s Hellenic Collection, it explores the complexity of relationships, the weight of our choices, and the hope that love can endure against all odds.
