Kim Hendricks is American, a legendary war reporter and celebrated novelist, a daring big game hunter, glamorous but dangerously flawed. Nicole Redon is French, a gifted fashion designer whose shocking and revolutionary ideas changed the image of women around the world. She is beautiful, charming, lonely, haunted.

He confronts a devastating tragedy. She guards a desperate secret. They meet by chance and pursue their star-crossed romance in New York and Paris, on safari in Africa, in glamorous resorts on the French Riviera and the savage blood-drenched front lines of two world wars.

They were the last romantics, the first contemporaries. Destiny brought them together but would fate—and the tides of history—keep them apart?

“Reading about Paris made me wish I had travelled there. I think it would be super if a reader had visited all of these places and could picture exactly where those parts of the story were taking place. Now, about the two main characters, it definitely was love and I don’t think I could ever be involved in that type of relationship but I had to keep remembering the times: World War 1, the roaring twenties, the depression, World War 2 and also Kim and Nicole’s individual careers.“
