Book Description by Author:

Saffron and Marcus are in the prime of their youth. Married for just over three years, Marcus still wants to focus on his career and travel the world with his wife. So, when Saffron announces her unexpected pregnancy, Marcus is shocked and furious. He tries to insist that Saffron should have the pregnancy terminated.

Saffron is left shocked and upset, knowing she must choose between him and their baby.

A heartbreaking tragedy results in Saffron travelling to France, where she meets Frenchman, Raphael. Saffron senses that Raphael has suffered a trauma of his own. But will he reveal to her his own story, that is far more tragic than her own?

Can these two strangers, who have seemingly been brought together by chance, bring each other some comfort, or will their respective pasts be too much for them to handle?
