Book Review By Giancarla Esguerra
Once In Paris by Diana Palmer

Brianne grew up with a social climbing mother who married a shady man with money. Her stepfather shipped her from her home in Nassau to the glizy glamor of Paris where she met Pierce. Pierce was definitely not looking for love. Having lost his beloved wife to a devastating illness, he wasn't ready for dating. In search of a future, he went to Paris where he found the most intriguing woman he had ever met.

Though their time in Paris was brief, circumstances and fate made sure that they were brought together again. Brianne's stepfather, who also happened to be a great enemy of Pierce, wants to marry her off to a questionable business associate with a mysterious past and present. Pierce, never forgetting the girl that gave him a little comfort in Paris, comes to Brianne's rescue and marries her instead.
