An unforgettable debut in the bestselling tradition of Santa\nMontefiore and Jojo Moyes. When Jonni Kendal comes to London to\npursue her dream of becoming an actress, she’s young, naive, full\nof courage and determined to excel. Just nineteen, she’s made up\nher mind to escape the narrow, parochial life her parents have\nplanned for her. Jean-Baptiste St. Michel is haunted by his father:\nthe man who abandoned him as a child, the man he can hardly\nremember, the man he cannot forget. Driven by his determination to\nforge a life for himself outside of the shadow of his father’s\nfamous name, he’s ambitious, talented and dangerously attractive —\nbut suspicious of emotional attachments. When Michel rescues Jonni\none night and takes her home, there’s an immediate attraction.\nJonni finds herself embraced by an exciting new world she never\nsuspected existed, and Michel, ever wary of commitment, finds\nhimself growing used to her presence in his life. But before he can\ncommit to any kind of future, he must release himself from his\npast.
