She has inherited a crumbling castle in the Loire valley. There are no funds to maintain it.

Her lawyer is encouraging to sell it. As she makes decisions, Sara learns that she is now a stepmother and her husband's cousin is determined to gain the Chateau. Ashton Lindeman, her husband's lawyer and part owner of the Chateau, is there to give her advice.

As the attraction between Ashton and Sara deepens, they will have to face the difficulties of dealing with a young child and the best way to handle the Chateau.

Donna Ball has written successfully in several genres. Her move into women's fiction started with a series of three books about the ladies of Ladybug Farm, which I adored. When I started this book, I had a hard time with a main character who is so sunk in depression that she has can't contemplate moving forward. However, I was so glad that I continued reading. This is an enchanting story complete with a prince and castle. Even though the romance doesn't move smoothly, the reader will fall in love with the characters and storyline.
