Some summers change your life forever. For Sophie, Paris was never part of the plan-until it became everything. When Sophie boards a plane to Paris, she isn't chasing love-she's escaping heartbreak. A broken engagement, a suitcase of doubts, and a need to rediscover herself lead her to the cobbled streets, hidden cafés, and sunlit mornings of the City of Light. Her plan is simple: sketch, wander, and remember who she is without someone else's shadow. But Paris, with its effortless beauty and way of turning every corner into a postcard, has other ideas. One rainy afternoon at a Left Bank bookstall, Sophie meets Julien-a quiet, intriguing man whose life seems rooted in the same city she's only just beginning to know. Their paths cross again and again-in bustling markets, on secret terraces, beneath the trees of Place Dauphine-until coincidence begins to feel like fate. As they explore together, Sophie discovers a Paris far beyond the guidebooks: Morning light through lace curtains and the smell of fresh baguettes Hidden gardens tucked behind iron gates Art galleries where every brushstroke hides a story Conversations over wine that change the way you see yourself But Julien has his own past-one that lingers in the quiet spaces between their words. And when someone from his history steps back into the frame, Sophie must decide if her summer in Paris will end with her heart restored... or broken all over again.
