In 1939 the world careened towards war.

Consumed with grief over the death of his soul mate, immortal John Larson trades his spurs for the scent of the sea and the life of a merchant marine.

Condemned by an ancient curse, he’s bound to await her rebirth, for a threat to her life, and for the magical summons that will draw him to her side.

In the heart of Paris, Aubrielle Cohen struggles to survive. Resolved to support her dying father, she sells flowers from a horse-drawn cart to tourists, who now flee the onset of war.

Beneath the Eiffel Tower, she learns a hard lesson about trust and meets a stranger whose presence evokes an irrational yearning in her soul.

As the Nazi war machine stands poised to invade her homeland, John must gain Aubrielle's trust, defend her life, and rekindle the passion he hopes still stirs deep within her heart.
