As editor-in-chief of a top fashion magazine, Fiona Monaghan enjoyed a glamorous life between Manhattan and Europe—until John Anderson walked into her office. A conservative widower with two daughters, John found Fiona's world of high-strung designers and snoring bulldogs both amusing and appalling. After she impulsively invited him to the Paris couture shows, Fiona unexpectedly fell for him during their romantic strolls along the Seine. Back in New York, John bonded with Fiona's bulldog, leading her to make space in her life for him. However, complications arose when John introduced Fiona to his hostile daughters and their fierce Pekingese, and a disastrous dinner party with John's client sent their relationship spiraling. This turmoil set Fiona on a transformative journey filled with pain and revelation. When she risks everything to return to Paris alone, a series of extraordinary events unfolds. As snow blankets the city of light, Fiona's second act begins, revealing unexpected possibilities. In this captivating tale of modern misadventures and the complexities of love, the story explores the magic of instant attraction, the challenges of change, and the hope that arises when we dare to start anew.
