Publisher's Synopsis
As a child, Puri always knew her passion for chocolate was inherited from her father. But it's not until his death that she learns of something else she's inherited. A cocoa estate in Vinces, Ecuador, a town nicknamed "Parìs Chiquito." Eager to claim her birthright and filled with hope for a new life after the devastation of World War I, she and her husband Cristóbal set out across the Atlantic Ocean. But it soon becomes clear someone is angered by Puri's claim to the estate. When a mercenary sent to murder her aboard the ship accidentally kills Cristóbal instead, Puri dons her husband's clothes and assumes his identity, hoping to stay safe while she searches for the truth of her father's legacy in Ecuador. Though freed from the rules that women are expected to follow, Puri confronts other challenges at the estate-newfound siblings, hidden affairs, and her father's dark secrets. "Engrossing…As addictive as chocolate." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
