Beautiful Art of Forgiveness

A second chance at love is only the beginning.In 1935, Cecily de Vauclaire longs for the tenderness and security she once believed marriage would bring. Her husband, Laurent, is as irresistible as ever—a brilliant French racing driver whose charm cannot undo the hurt caused by hidden debts and reckless decisions. They have chosen to try again, but trust must be rebuilt in ordinary days, not grand declarations.An Italian escape promises sea air, candlelit evenings and the possibility of rediscovering one another. At a friend's magnificent yet financially troubled palazzo, Cecily and Laurent confront old jealousy, family expectations and the difficult truths beneath elegant appearances.Meanwhile, a prestigious international racing proposal offers Laurent the recognition and income he craves—at the price of months away from the woman he loves.As a sudden family emergency tests their carefully negotiated promises, husband and wife must decide what ambition, devotion and a shared home really mean. And when the year draws to a close, a precious new hope may change everything.Set against the glamour of the 1930s Riviera, The Beautiful Art of Forgiveness is a tender, emotionally rich historical romance about reconciliation, married love and the courage to build a lasting future together.Book Four of the six-book A Thousand Ways to Fall in Love series.
