When a wedding dress designer’s daughter becomes engaged, it raises issues of love, safety, and second chances for all the women in her family in this powerful novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Dominque Dupont is one of the world’s most sought-after designers of wedding dresses, and is as unfailingly chic as her gowns. Her international list of clients includes royals and presidents’ daughters.

As for her own adult daughters, Felicity and Violet, they have unconventional views on marriage, due in part to their family history. Dominique’s French mother, Marie-Aurélie, was the adored mistress of a famous financier, and Dominique and her faithless husband divorced decades ago.
Felicity, an artist, is in no hurry to get married. Unfortunately, her beau, Taylor, is. When she expresses ambivalence, Taylor reveals a dark side that frightens her. Too ashamed to confide in her mother or sister, she agrees to an elaborate wedding with deep misgivings.

Fun-loving Violet is dating a sports reporter, but firmly believes one should never spoil a good thing with matrimony. When he slips an MVP ring on her finger, they decide to celebrate their love in a way that is true to themselves.

Dominique’s own long-term relationship with a married man is no longer giving her what she wants. As she struggles with making a change, her Parisian mother considers rekindling an old flame.

As plans for Felicity’s wedding proceed, each woman will question the true meaning of commitment in this dazzling novel from a master storyteller.
