From the internationally bestselling author of The French
Gardener comes a sweeping and sophisticated romance about an
aristocratic English family shocked by the revelations of a
beautiful stranger from Paris.
When Lord Frampton dies in a skiing accident, a beautiful
young woman named Phaedra appears at his funeral—claiming to
be the Lord’s illegitimate daughter. In his will, Lord
Frampton has left the priceless Frampton suite of sapphires
to this interloper, confirming her claim and outraging his
three adult sons and widow. Eventually, however, Phaedra’s
sweet nature thaws the frosty relationships. She becomes the
daughter that Antoinette Frampton never had and a wise and
compassionate granddaughter to the formidable Dowager Lady
Frampton. But an attraction grows between Phaedra and the
eldest son, David. It seems an impossible love—blocked by
their blood connection and by the fury of one family member
who is determined to expose Phaedra as a fraud.
Filled with the luscious scenery and enchanting characters
her fans adore, Santa Montefiore’s The Woman from Paris is
an unforgettable story about family, forgiveness, and the
power of love.
