After her father’s death, Beth decides to take some time off from her job as a high-flying fashion PR agent. Instead of diving into the madness of Paris Fashion Week, she heads to the quiet English village of Kepton to reconnect with relatives—and try to get to the bottom of a dark family secret. Though none of Beth’s eccentric relatives are willing to talk, she finds solace with Olivier, the brooding, gorgeous Frenchman who runs her bed and breakfast. Somehow, starting her day by helping Olivier make croissants and coffee, and ending it by chatting with him over cheese and wine makes Beth happier than she’s been in years. As the troubling truths of Beth’s family history come to light, she also learns about the secrets behind Olivier’s melancholy smile. Now Beth and Olivier must find out if they can put the past to rest and find happiness in their simple life together. “A memorable read.” —Robert Foster, bestselling author of The Lunar Code
