Previously published as The Woman from Paris
"Superb storyteller" (Plum Sykes) Santa Montefiore's sweeping and
sophisticated international bestseller Summer House is "a feel good
story, full of exuberance and passion and threaded with hope...an
exceptional find" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer).
When Lord Frampton dies in a skiing accident, a beautiful young woman
named Phaedra appears at his funeral--claiming to be the Lord's
illegitimate daughter. In his will, Lord Frampton has left the priceless
Frampton suite of sapphires to this interloper, confirming her claim and
outraging his three adult sons and widow. Eventually, however, Phaedra's
sweet nature thaws the frosty relationships. She becomes the daughter
that Antoinette Frampton never had and a wise and compassionate
granddaughter to the formidable Dowager Lady Frampton. But an attraction
grows between Phaedra and the eldest son, David. It seems an impossible
love--blocked by their blood connection and by the fury of one family
member who is determined to expose Phaedra as a fraud.
Filled with the luscious scenery and enchanting characters her fans
adore, Santa Montefiore's Summer House is an unforgettable story about
family, forgiveness, and the power of love.
