Helena Fairfax was born in Uganda and came to England as a child. Then, when disaster strikes at home in London, Sophie is faced with a choice-stay in this glamorous world with the man she loves, or return to her family to keep the sacred promise she made her mother. But it seems the fates are conspiring against Sophie’s happiness. Thrown together for a few short weeks in Lyon, the romantic city of silk, their mutual love begins to grow. He engineers a student placement Sophie can’t refuse, and so, unwillingly, she finds herself back in France, working for Jean-Luc in the silk mill he now owns. He is determined to find out why she left him, and intrigued to discover the real Sophie.
Safely back home with her father and brother, and immersed in her college work, Sophie tries her best to forget their encounter, but she reckons without Jean-Luc. She runs away from Jean-Luc and returns to England to keep her promise. One night of happiness is all Sophie allows herself. She made her dying mother a promise to take care of her father and brother in London. She knows she has no part in Jean-Luc’s future. The night they spend together in Paris seems to Sophie like a fairytale-a Cinderella story without the happy ending. Sophie Challoner is a penniless student, whose face is unknown beyond her own rundown estate in London. Jean-Luc Olivier is a courageous racing driver, a hero to millions, with the world before him.
