1952. In the fragile atmosphere of post-war Paris, Sophie Bernot is training as a heart surgeon. A young woman in a man's world, Sophie is determined to bury her past and forge her medical career, whatever the costs.

Across the channel, Sebastian Ogilvie is burning with ambition for his first architectural project. As his schemes lead him to France, and to a chance encounter with Sophie, his future seems full of promise.

But when Sophie and Sebastian find themselves entangled in a brief, passionate affair, they each face a choice that will change their lives irrevocably, and a secret that will take years to be uncovered...

Sweeping from Paris to London, to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, this is an unforgettable story of passion, heartache and forgiveness.

Reviews
From Paris to London, the saga is just wonderful * The Sun *
Caroline has created engaging, strong, and convincing characters in a powerful and romantic love story. Battling with tragedy stemming from the horrors of the second world war, together with courage and bravery, it had me gripped from start to finish. The perfect read for a cold winter's evening. I thoroughly enjoyed it * Sixty Plus Surfers *
The engaging plot, perfectly offset by a cast of fantastic characters, ensures this novel is the perfect form of escapism * Dundee Courier *
