SHE'S UNLUCKY IN LOVE...
In the south of France, secrets meander through the sun-drenched countryside like grapevines-and like fine wine, they grow richer with every year that passes. But Franny Marten knows little of this world. All that meanders through her tiny cottage in California is the dream of falling in love. Franny thought that dream might come true-until she meets her lover's wife! But just as Franny feels her heart break one too many times, she receives a mysterious letter in the mail that changes everything...

...UNTIL A LETTER FROM AFAR DARES HER TO TAKE A CHANCE...
The letter is an invitation to a Marten family reunion at a chateau in Provence. Knowing little about her family, Franny throws caution to the wind and packs her bags for the adventure of a lifetime. Her decision to go to France will thrust her into a world perched on the edge of time, where the azure swirl of the Mediterranean lingers in the distance with the promise that anything is possible. And when Franny learns why fate has brought her to Provence, she will finally understand that when it comes to love, sometimes all is not what it seems. Sometimes, it's even better...
