A powerful promise. A terrible sacrifice. A second chance…
1952. In the fragile atmosphere of post-war Paris, Sophie Bernot is training as a heart surgeon. A young woman in a man’s world, Sophie is determined to bury her past and forge her medical career, whatever the costs.
Across the channel, Sebastian Ogilvie is burning with ambition for his first architectural project. As his schemes lead him to France, and to a chance encounter with Sophie, his future seems full of promise.
But when Sophie and Sebastian find themselves entangled in a brief, passionate affair, they each face a choice that will change their lives irrevocably, and a secret that will take years to be uncovered… danger than ever before.
Sweeping from Paris to London, to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, this is an unforgettable story of passion, heartache and forgiveness. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore and Lucinda Riley

Wonderful
I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of Caroline’s second novel and I was not disappointed. Caroline has a wonderful ability of transporting you directly to the heart of the action and you can’t help but be swept along with the story – your heart aches for the characters. Caroline’s writing gets better and better with each novel – I can’t wait for the next one!
