Lake Geneva, 1951: Delphine looked up at Florian, her fingers grazing his cheek as she pressed her mouth to his, the sapphire tiara sparkling beside them. “Yes,” she whispered against his lips. “I will marry you. If you can find a way, then I promise you. I will marry you.”
London, present day. Georgia watches a rare pink sapphire glitter in her hand. It was left to her at Hope’s House, a home for unmarried mothers, but how is it connected to the secrets of her family’s complicated history?
When Georgia discovers the gemstone was part of a priceless tiara owned by the Italian royal family, she is drawn in by its mystery. Answers may be found at Lake Geneva, where the stunning tiara is in the ownership of Luca, who inherited it from his grandfather.
Luca has been searching for the missing stone for years and as they spend sun-drenched days together, Georgia and Luca uncover the passionate, forbidden love story of Delphine and Florian.
Will this decades-old secret shatter everything Georgia knows about herself? Or will Delphine’s courage inspire her to open up her own heart and build a new life with Luca?
A completely gripping and escapist read about true love that lasts a lifetime, that will leave you spellbound. The perfect read for fans of Lucinda Riley, Victoria Hislop and Santa Montefiore.
