In 1920s Paris, a young woman will lose everything… and finally discover what truly matters most.
Tatiana Vytenis has worked hard to leave her past behind. Once a ruined Russian princess in hiding, she is now a sought-after model and engaged to Gérard de Sainte-Vierge – a handsome, if occasionally overbearing, aristocrat. With the Sainte-Vierge heirloom ruby sparkling on her finger, Tatiana feels as though she should be happy. Not long ago she was penniless and now she’s about to become a marquise.
But fate still has a final hand to play. One night in a bohemian café in Montparnasse, Tatiana discovers she’s been the unknowing plaything of the Sainte-Vierge family. Hidden beneath their genteel exteriors, Gerard and his brother have a secret darker side, and her darling fiancé will gladly ruin Tatiana’s life to save his own reputation.
As Tatiana’s situation becomes ever more desperate, she crosses paths with an unlikely guardian angel. Regan Dortmeyer is an American in Paris – a war photographer running from his own hard knocks in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. He’s no fancy French nobleman, but Regan has seen the lengths to which a wicked man like Gerard will go. As the consequences of her disastrous engagement threaten to swallow Tatiana up, he might be the only one who can save her now…
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Milliner’s Secret, The Paris Girl is a beautiful novel full of twists and turns, set against the breathtaking backdrop of 1920s Paris. Perfect for fans of Chanel Cleeton, Kathleen Tessaro and The Alice Network .
'The Paris Girl' is set in beautiful 1920's Paris, and era of history which conjures beautiful images and history, and Natalie Meg Evans has chosen a great era in which to set 'The Paris Girl'.
I enjoyed reading 'The Paris Girl' and learning more about the era and found the main character, Tatiana Vutenis, an intriguing character. She is a Russian princess, who leaves Russia under a dark cloud and in Paris works hard to rebuild her life and leave her past behind her.
Natalie Meg Evans has written a beautiful novel, full of research and history, and I enjoyed learning more about the time and following Tatiana's pursuit of happiness.
I recommend this to all my blog readers, especially those who enjoy historical fiction and those who want to learn more about 1920's Paris.
