Publisher's Synopsis
Isabel Lawson is standing on the balcony of her suite at the Hotel de Crillon as she gazes at the lights of the Champs-Elysees and wonders if she's made a terrible mistake. She was supposed to be visiting the Christmas tree in the Place de la Concorde and eating escargots with her new husband on their honeymoon. But a week before the wedding, she called it off. Isabel is an ambitious Philadelphia finance woman, and Neil suddenly decided to take over his grandparents' farm. Isabel wasn't ready to trade her briefcase for a pair of rubber boots and a saddle. When Neil suggested she use their honeymoon tickets for herself, she thought it would give her a chance to clear her head. That is until she locks herself out on the balcony in the middle of winter. Thankfully, her neighbour Alec, a French children's illustrator, comes to her rescue. He, too, is nursing a broken heart at the Crillon for the holidays.
