A Dance Towards Forever (The French Connection Series Book 1) by Alyson Root
If there’s one thing that Sam knows, it’s that life can suck! Yes, she’s a talented photographer, but that doesn’t mean much when she’s still working in the same position at the same company she started after graduating over a decade ago. Oh, and she’s nursing a broken heart. Every day is the same. She wakes up, drinks coffee, goes to work, comes home and sleeps. She’s stuck in a loop with no foreseeable way out. That is until her new boss ships her off to Paris on an assignment.
The project is a career maker; she has free rein over the city and no budget to worry about. It’s perfect. Paris appears to offer her everything she could ever want, including the attention of a beautiful woman who seems to be a constant presence in her life ever since her departure from the UK.
A chance of reviving her career is exciting and challenging, but the thought of putting herself on the line for a woman again is nothing short of terrifying. Sam learned her lesson a long time ago where matters of the heart are concerned and she isn’t going to make the same mistake again. So the last thing she needs is fate interfering with her well-conceived plan of keeping her heart locked-away where it will be safe from more heartache.
Anna has the life she’s worked hard for. She has a comfortable apartment filled with her precious books; she has her dream job working as the editor-in-chief at a successful publishing house in Paris, and a brother who loves her unconditionally. Life is good, right?
Well, not entirely because the one thing that Anna wants more than anything is a loving relationship, and that’s something she doesn’t have with her boyfriend, James. Yes, he’s kind and yes, they have a simple life, but for Anna it isn’t enough, not anymore. She’s never been the type of person to take risks. She’s always found it much easier to settle. But settling isn’t an option anymore, not after experiencing a dream so vivid it impacts Anna in her waking hours, too.
Anna’s life is turning upside down, her well-controlled existence is in free fall. If dealing with coming out isn’t hard enough, Anna also has to contend with the woman of her dreams turning up in Paris.
