About This Book
It was true that Paris had been a disappointment to Faith Anderson, but not because she had been entranced with the "City of Lights." It was because of Ken Martin that Faith returned to Boston. She and wealthy playboy Ken had gone to Paris to work together on a book, he to write it and she to illustrate it. But several months of inactivity on Ken's part not only disillusioned Faith about his commitment to the book, it also changed her feelings for him as the man of her choice.
