‘[A] sumptuous and historically rich romance. . . Empowering and exhilarating’ Kirkus (starred review)
‘Fiery, heartfelt. . . swoony’ Entertainment Weekly
USA TODAY bestselling author Adriana Herrera returns with a new historical romance novel, following A Caribbean Heiress in Paris
One last summer.
For Manuela del Carmen Caceres Galvan, the invitation to show her paintings at the 1889 Exposition Universelle came at the perfect time. Soon to be trapped in a loveless marriage, Manuela has given herself one last summer of freedom – in Paris, with her two best friends.
One scandalous encounter.
Cora Kempf Bristol, Duchess of Sundridge, is known for her ruthlessness in business. It’s not money she chases, but power. When she sees the opportunity to secure her position among her rivals, she does not hesitate. How difficult could it be to convince the mercurial Miss Caceres Galvan to part with a parcel of land she’s sworn never to sell?
One life-changing bargain.
Tempted by Cora’s offer, Manuela proposes a trade: her beloved land for a summer with the duchess in her corner of Paris. A taste of the wild, carefree world that will soon be out of her reach. What follows thrills and terrifies Cora, igniting desires the duchess long thought dead. As they fill their days indulging in a shared passion for the arts and their nights with dark and delicious deeds, the happiness that seemed impossible moves within reach . . . though claiming it could cause the greatest scandal Paris has seen in decades.

The cultural diversity represented is historically accurate, beautifully integrated, sensitively explored, and incredibly refreshing. It's high time romance diversified its tales of dashing dukes; Herrera doesn't disappoint on that front

This gorgeously penned book fuses together scorching chemistry, textured characters, and a searing examination of power and colonialism, all while scratching my favourite romance itches: witty, stubborn leads, intense (and sensual) swoons, and of course, an ensemble that already has me dying for the next book in the series.
