NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Scandal and tragedy erupt against the
backdrop of an exclusive Paris hotel in Danielle Steel's riveting
novel.
Known for its luxurious accommodations and bespoke service, the Hotel
Louis XVI has been the most lauded boutique hotel in all of Paris for
decades, attracting an international clientele of the rich and famous.
Now, after four years of renovations and the death of its legendary and
beloved manager, it is set to reopen its doors at last. An esteemed
group of loyal returning guests is set to descend upon the hotel, joined
by a number of new faces who have managed to secure coveted bookings in
the wake of last-minute cancellations.
Awaiting them all is the Louis XVI's new manager, Olivier Bateau, an
anxious man whose lack of experience leaves him unprepared. He and his
level-headed assistant manager, Yvonne Philippe, both strive to continue
the hotel's tradition of excellence. But they quickly realize that
anything can happen at any moment, and on one cool September evening,
everything does.
A successful art consultant arrives at the hotel for the first time
since her brutal divorce, and is surprised to find new love--if she is
willing to risk her heart again. A new guest contemplates ending his
life, and saves a life instead. A couple finds their once-in-a-lifetime
trip interrupted by a tragic medical emergency, leaving the idyllic
future they've long waited for hanging in the balance. And one of the
hotel's most high-profile guests, a French politician and assumed
presidential candidate, holds a mysterious meeting in his suite that
will threaten his life and legacy. Rocked by the events of this one
fateful night, guests and staff alike brace themselves for the
aftershock, as it quickly becomes apparent that more dramas and
misfortunes are still in store.
Danielle Steel tells an unforgettable story about a famed hotel, where a
few complications quickly escalate into a matter of life and death,
changing the lives of everyone who passes through its doors.
