A secret. A line they shouldn't cross. A love they can't forget.
Harry Beall has always been Catherine Talbot's weakness. They first met as teenagers when her widowed father started a relationship with his widowed stepmother. Catherine's crush on Harry was never meant to be more than unrequited love. But the night of her debut ball, on the eve of his departure for university, everything changed.
Their relationship was a whirlwind of secret passion and stolen kisses, until one day he inexplicably pushed her away and broke her heart. Distraught, she ran off with her sister to Paris. Now, Harry has crossed the Atlantic as part of her father's bid to bring the sisters home. All Catherine wants is to put their past behind them so she can move on. But Harry never stopped loving her, and he won't give up until she's his again.
As their feelings reignite and grow too big to keep secret, Catherine must confront the truth that the man she wants is, as far as both families are concerned, the worst possible one she could choose. And that's if he doesn't break her heart again.
Told in alternating timelines between their teenaged summers in the country and their reunion as adults, AGAIN, THIS TIME IN PARIS by Melinda Copp is a fun second chance historical romance that's filled with yearning. It's part of the Belle Époque series and can be read as a standalone.
