Diana Biller's The Brightest Star in Paris is a thrilling story
of first loves and second chances.
She never expected her first love to return, but is he here to stay?
Amelie St. James is a fraud. After the Siege of Paris, she became "St.
Amie," the sweet, virtuous prima ballerina the Paris Opera Ballet needed
to restore its scandalous reputation, all to protect the safe life she
has struggled to build for her and her sister. But when her first love
reappears looking as devastatingly handsome as ever, and the ghosts of
her past quite literally come back to haunt her, her hard-fought safety
is thrown into chaos.
Dr. Benedict Moore has never forgotten the girl who helped him embrace
life after he almost lost his. Now, years later, he's back in Paris. His
goals are to recruit promising new scientists, and maybe to see Amelie
again. When he discovers she's in trouble, he's desperate to help
her--and hold her in his arms.
When she finally agrees to let him help, they disguise their time
together with a fake courtship. Soon, with the help of an ill-advised
but steamy kiss, old feelings reignite. Except, their lives are an ocean
apart. Will they be able to make it out with their hearts intact?
I foresee years of excellent storytelling from Diana Biller; the
certainty of that excites me. - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
