About This Book

An impulsive young prince, weary from an earlier hurt yet driven by passion, pursues a celebrated beauty while a convent-raised novice prepares to leave the cloistered life that shaped her. Their stories and those of secondary figures intersect across gardens, salons, and travel, tracing memory, temptation, and the conflict between social expectation and personal desire. Scenes alternate quiet introspection with dramatic encounters, following choices and misunderstandings that force reckonings about loyalty, fate, and the costs of romantic pursuit.
