OLD MONEY. YOUNGER MEN. ONE INTOXICATING SUMMER.

Lea Mortimer has everything under control. As a highly sought-after consultant specializing in transforming dilapidated French country estates into boutique hotels, she relishes her freedom as a single, childfree woman. And her life is full, occupied as much by her impeccable historic renovations as by the aristocratic -- and often exhausting -- French families she works for.

As affairs bloom in the idyllic chateau, …
