The Chateau by the River

A faded photograph will lead one young woman to a ruined French castle where she will discover the truth of her own identity . . . and the enduring mystery of love. <P>Traveling to France on business Alexandra Dawson has decided to seize the opportunity to explore a mysterious piece of her own heritage-a half-burnt picture of a woman who looks eerily like her taken more than a hundred years ago in a local castle. In the charming rural village of Chandeniers she discovers something else too-the gruff ruggedly good-looking heir of the crumbled chateau.<P>Eric Lagnel is completely uninterested in Alex's queries until he realizes that she may have stumbled on a way to save the building. Their unlikely partnership is a surprise. But as Alex slowly unravels the secrets of her great-great-grandmother's photograph-and the true history of the chateau-she begins to understand that no one is ever prepared for the ways love can heal old wounds and open the hardest hearts. </p>
