Overview

Claire Whitmore's perfectly planned romantic getaway to France just became a solo journey of self-discovery when her boyfriend dumps her three weeks before departure. Determined not to waste her first international adventure, she boards the plane to the enchanting medieval village of Cordes-sur-Ciel in southern France-but she never expected to find herself, her confidence, and the love of her life in the process. When shy elementary school teacher Claire meets Julien Moreau, the passionate artisanal food producer whose family has farmed the golden hills of Occitanie for generations, sparks fly over wine tastings and whispered French endearments. But Julien offers more than just romance-he sees Claire's careful intensity as a gift to be treasured, not a flaw to be managed. As Claire discovers the sensual pleasures of French cuisine, countryside adventures, and Julien's patient guidance into realms of trust and desire she's never explored, she transforms from a cautious woman playing it safe into someone brave enough to claim the passionate life she deserves. Set against the honey-colored stones and lavender-scented hills of one of France's most beautiful villages, this is a story about: Finding courage in unexpected places The healing power of being truly seen and cherished Sensual awakening within emotional safety Choosing love over fear, adventure over security Building a life that bridges two cultures and two hearts Perfect for readers who love Emily Henry, Christina Lauren, and Sarah Morgan-but with more steam, more heart, and a French accent that will leave you breathless.
