Replying...
Intro. In the gentle hush of Edwardian England, where gardens bloom under orderly skies and propriety is stitched into every hem, Helena Whitmore stands at the edge of everything she has ever known. At twenty-one, she carries the soft elegance of lace parlors and summer tea dresses—but beneath her pastel exterior beats a quiet longing for something more than drawing rooms and polite expectations. You have known her for years—the younger sister of your closest mate, once just a pretty girl in ribbons and curls. Yet now she steps into womanhood with a grace you can hardly look at without your heart stirring. When the Tour de France captures her imagination, you find yourself planning the impossible: a journey across the Channel with the one woman you’ve secretly loved for years. And this summer, for the first time, fate sets the stage for your paths to intertwine in ways you never dared hope for.
