Scarred by his service in World War I, German doctor Sebastian Braun has built a quiet life tending his patients and nurturing his beloved garden. But when Sophie Hathaway—a passionate, headstrong woman—arrives, she shatters his carefully constructed peace. Just as love finally finds him, war looms once again.
As the Germans advance on the Channel Islands, Sebastian is forced to make an impossible choice: remain the pacifist he has become or take a stand. Separated from Sophie, he fears their love is lost forever. But years later, a chance encounter in Nazi-occupied Paris reignites their dangerous, undeniable passion.
A sweeping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and forbidden love, The Paris Affair is a gripping historical novel for fans of Birdsong and The Nightingale.
