Book Details

Dahlia de Beaumont is the CEO of a high-end perfume & cosmetics company based in Paris. Cruelly widowed at thirty, she brought her four children up alone. Now aged fifty, she guards her heart by burying herself in work, motherhood, and a long-term yet casual relationship with a married man. Travelling for business, Dahlia is left stranded in San Francisco when terrible wildfires break out, causing widespread death and destruction. Moved by the tragic stories of injured animals, Dahlia volunteers at a pet rescue centre in Napa Valley, where she meets Mark Hamilton, a handsome lawyer who has also been wounded by love in the past. When Dahlia seeks Mark’s legal counsel, they grow close, feeling a spark that both thought they never would again. But as black smoke fills the air, and the raging fires move ever closer to San Francisco, their lives remain in grave danger. With everything at stake, is Dahlia willing to take a risk, and put all her cards on the table once more?
