She seriously needs to shake things up, and what better way to do that than a holiday in Paris? New time zone, lost luggage, and her best friend thousands of miles away...the glossy guidebooks of Paris start to seem like an out-of-reach fantasy. Things turn around at Paris's most famous department store, when Reya meets an elderly French lady who needs a little help. From there an unlikely friendship with Madame Billeaux begins, complete with her charming grandson Francois. As Reya's growing attraction to Francois gets harder and harder to deny, her escape to Paris will turn into a full-blown adventure...
