Soon a winding road trip returning to Paris softens their defenses ... and reveals complicated truths behind their guarded hearts.Yet as Nora’s time in France begins to wind down, she must decide: Return to the comfort of the life she knew - or leap into a bold new chapter she never imagined beyond the pages of her novels.
