It was a leap of faith for Grace Fontaine to bid farewell to her beloved
fianacé, Jess Quinn, and send him on a four-month stint on the
transatlantic luxury liner the Lone Star. But the trip from Boston to
London and back again would increase his salary five-fold and would
bring the couple that much closer to realizing their dream of marrying
and starting a family. When Grace learns that the ship was captured by
pirates, her hope deflates--and it eviscerates entirely at the news that
the pirate ship was destroyed, with no survivors reported.
Two years later, Grace receives word from a doctor in Paris, Tennessee,
that her wealthy great-aunt, Iris Brockwell, is on her deathbed and
requires round-the-clock care. Grace volunteers, figuring there is
nothing left for her in Boston. It isn't long after her arrival in Paris
that she meets a charming, driven lawyer named Conrad Hall, who wastes
no time sweeping her off her feet and soon proposes marriage. Given his
promises to love, protect, and care for her and her great-aunt, how can
Grace refuse?
Weeks before the wedding, an unexpected guest shows up and threatens to
throw a wrench in the plans. Will Grace go through with her marriage to
Conrad? Or will an unforeseen turn of events change her mind?
