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

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…
