What to expect

Decadent and evocative storytelling at its very best., by NEW YORK TIMES bestseller, Beatriz Williams

1966, Florida

Pepper Schuyler is the kind of woman society loves and loves to talk about – a dazzling being who men watch across crowded, smoky rooms, and women keep their husbands away from. Yet the legend of Pepper is far from the truth…

1935, Côte d’Azur

Nineteen-year-old ingénue Annabelle de Créouville leaves her father’s crumbling chateau to help a handsome German Jew fleeing from the Nazi regime – and from the other man with whom Annabelle’s future is inextricably entangled. Falling headlong in love as is only possible for the first time, Annabelle follows her heart from Antibes, to Paris, to pre-war Berlin, torn between two very different men, and two very different endings…
