The first time I caused terrible harm to the people I love it was an accident. The second is the reason I'm here.
When Alexandra discovers that her husband Philippe is having an affair, she can’t believe he’d risk losing the love that has transformed both their lives.
Still in shock, Alexandra finds herself powerfully attracted to a much younger man. Jean-Luc Malavoine is twenty-three, intense and magnetic. He’s also the son of Philippe’s best friend.
With every increasingly passionate liaison, Alexandra is pulled deeper into a situation that threatens everyone she holds dear.
Beautifully told through the boulevards and arrondissements of the City of Light, Paris Mon Amour is a sensual novel about inescapable desire and devastating betrayals. It is the story of one woman and two men, and what happens when there is no way out.
‘A truly emotional ride. A story of lust, love and loss with a beautifully described Paris as its backdrop. I galloped through it in a couple of days’ Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days

A delicious summer read
Pitch-perfect account of a woman's scandalous affair with a much younger man. The word 'psychological' is bandied about a lot in book marketing these days but I would say this book really does delve into the psychology of relationships in an insightful and compelling narrative. It's also rich in minutely-observed Parisian details which makes reading it all the more pleasurable. The perfect grown-up beach read.
This was certainly a Greek tragedy, albeit set in Paris. Illicit love, family dynamics and Paris all stirred together to make a story with an inevitable conclusion. I have always loved Paris and this story highlighted the some of the best of that fascinating city for lovers.
