Schoolteacher Maeve is a self-confessed control freak. She needs an orderly life or she can’t function. So when she stops to comfort a weeping Frenchwoman in Paris and ends up stranded without a passport, everything starts to unravel.
She’s soon embroiled in the messy dynamics of the Remy family, with suspicious siblings, chaotic cousins and eccentric elders. Worse, infamous artist Leo Remy somehow persuades her – her, sensible Maeve! – to sit for a portrait.
But when her past collides with the present, and a shocking secret is uncovered, Maeve can’t help wondering if Fate has trapped her in Paris for a reason. Is she brave enough to follow her heart?
