Deanna believed she had everything she'd ever wanted. Diamonds, a beautiful home, a handsome, successful husband who adored her. But Marc-Edouard led a jet-set life as an international lawyer and for three months - for the summer - Deanna would be alone. Until Ben found her. And together they found happiness on sun-drenched beaches. But they knew their dream had to end. They also knew that they couldn't live without each other. But Deanna and Ben hadn't foreseen the devastating changes that would happen to them by the time they faced . . . summer's end.

This was the very first Danielle Steele I ever read. I was only 18 and what an introduction it was to the work of this remarkable author.
The story is set in California and it centres around Deanna, wife of a very successful French international lawyer. She paints as a hobbie and spends her summers alone in California while her husband Marc returns to his parents in France.
It was on a trip to Carmel with a friend that Deanna met a stranger with the same interest in art that she has and they begin a very warm passionate relationship but tragedy befalls Deanna....And it really keeps the reader interested until the last page.
I have read it many times since and I still cry, smile and laugh.
Worth reading and a fantastic introduction to the books of Dannielle Steele

Deanna was eighteen when she married a handsome Frenchman attorney Marc-Edouard Duras. She meets him when her father dies and leaves her without any money. Marc takes her under his wing and marries her after a very short courtship. But by marrying him she is also giving up her independence and is marrying into a family who feel that she is unsuitable for marc. Deanna is now 37 when she realises what she has given up for Marc she takes comfort in her art which Marc believes is only a hobby.
Will Deanna regain the independence she's lost during her marriage?
I really enjoyed this and read it in a matter of a few hours!

As usual a clever yarn - to weave away a few hours of sheer escapist delight!

Over the years I've read a lot of Danielle Steel books and I've found that they aren't always good, but this one I found to be excellent.
Deanna is married to Marc-Edouard Duras, he's an attorney, she has a beautiful home, a daughter and a husband that adored her.
Marc has to go and work out of state for 3 months and is leaving his wife all alone. Deanna decided to occupy herself by doing things she wants to do, she meets a stranger called Ben, he has the same interests in art.
That's all I really want to say about the story as I don't want to give too much away and spoil it for you.
The author grabbed me straight away, and took me a long on Deanna's journey which takes a few twist and turns.
I found the novel very enjoyable and was a compulsive read; this took me a matter oh hours to get through as I really couldn't put the book down. :-)
It's defiantly a book I'd recommend to her fans and to new comers who are trying her novels for the first time. :-)
I'll read this novel again at some point as I really enjoyed it and it was worth every penny. :-)
