I will even admit that this one isn't one of my favorites that Nora Roberts has done. I'll read it and like it but not one of my favs.
This time we follow Serenity Smith to Brittany to meet her long lost maternal grandmother. It's only been a short time since her parents had died in a plane crash and now her grandmother has practically summoned her across the ocean to visit.
For Serenity this was her last connection to her mom and she wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity. She had to wonder though, why her parents never spoke about her grandmother...ever.
Soon she would see why. However, first she will meet her kissing cousin, Christophe de Kergallen, who dislikes her on the spot....or at least that's how he makes it seem.
For as much as they fight throughout the story you would think that they hate each other with a passion. Serenity takes great pains to conceal that she's fallen in love with this cold aristocrat.
Even Christophe felt Serenity bewitched him the moment she stepped off the train. But what her Grandmother the Comtesse Francoise de Kergallen has told him of Serenity's father makes what he feels for her wrong.
See, before Serenity was even born the Comtesse had a Raphael that she wanted cleaned and entrusted her father to do so. She had thought nothing of him being there, seeing as her daughter was already engaged to another man. So the day that she fainted in the garden and told the Comtesse that she was pregnant, it was a great shock.
They decided to go to America after the Comtesse disowned her only daughter. She also labeled him then as a thief.
For she believed that he took her Raphael. It was foolish pride that denied her, her daughter and her granddaughter.
It's up to Serenity to clear her father's name and discover what's beneath that cold pride of her grandmother's. For Serenity is hoping beyond hope that she has just one more family member left in the world.
As for Christophe, he's hoping to win the heart of a feisty American woman and make her his forever.
Seeing how there's french in here you can imagine how I've butchered some of these words in my head lol. It's nice read though, and I'd recommend it.
