That’s Caroline MacDonald’s immediate reaction to her sister’s offer. Annabel is beautiful, charming and utterly manipulative. Struggling to take back control of her life after a disastrous love affair, the last thing Caroline needs is to be an unwitting pawn in one of Annabel’s schemes.

In the stunning setting of the Villa Julia, high on the hills behind Biarritz, she discovers the power of true passion and the joy of new friendships.
