Our Second Chances Series
ALL THE STARS WE FOLLOW (BOOK 1)
If life is a journey, follow your star and see where it takes you…
Following the break-up of her long-term relationship and at a turning point in her life, Léa, 40, has left her comfortable life in London to settle in Uzès, a small picturesque town in the South of France and make a go of her dream of becoming a writer. With her savings dwindling and no money coming in, she reluctantly agrees to give French lessons to Max, a shy and lonely thirteen-year-old boy, spending the summer holidays with his wealthy, hard-to-please father, Mark, and his glamorous girlfriend.
As Léa gets to know Max and takes him under her wing, she quickly comes into open conflict with his overbearing father over his lack of empathy towards his son and his bullying girlfriend. Furious, yet intrigued by Léa’s independent spirit, Mark can’t help wondering if he has finally met his match. As the unlikely pair draws closer and an incredible opportunity to build something together appears out of nowhere, events outside their control collide with their own fears and threaten to shatter this relationship they long for.
Can Léa trust Mark enough to take a chance? Can Mark leave his successful life behind? Can a summer romance ever be more than a fleeting moment in time?
ALL THE STARS WE FOLLOW is Céline Chancelier’s debut novel. It’s a compelling and uplifting story about following your dreams, second chances and finding love where you least expect it.
