The French Chateau Dream

You are invited to a summer of sparkling champagne, warm buttery croissants, and a little bit of je ne sais quoi.

With a broken heart and a broken spirit, Hattie is in need of a summer escape. So, when an opportunity arises to work at a beautiful, stately chateau in the Champagne region of France, she books her flights quicker than the pop of a cork.

Romance is the last thing Hattie is looking for, but she wasn’t expecting the gorgeous Luc to stroll into her life. With picnics in the warm French sun and delicious foodie trips to the local market, Hattie starts to wonder if a holiday fling—or maybe even something more—might be just what she needs.
