October 1792. France is in revolution, the royal family has been imprisoned, and Marguerite de Kermerrac's world is crashing down around her. Facing certain death, Marguerite flees to England with her family -- and the dashing American, Simon Fanshawe. While awaiting word of Marguerite's father, Simon's chaperoning turns personal. He and Marguerite develop a friendship that blossoms into love. Relief turns to heartache when Marguerite's father returns.
He disapproves of his daughter's relationship, and refuses to allow them to marry. Years later, Simon and Marguerite reunite. Free from disapproving eyes, can they rekindle the love they once shared, or will a second chance only lead to heartache again?
