France, 1914. As war breaks out, Aurelie becomes trapped on the wrong side of the front. When the Germans turn her family’s ancestral estate into their headquarters, Aurelie discovers the German officer’s aide de camp, Maximilian Von Sternburg is the same dashing young officer she first met during her debutante days in Paris. Aurelie and Max’s tentative friendship soon deepens, but conflicting loyalties will shatter them both, driving Aurelie back to Paris and the Ritz— the home of her American heiress mother, with unexpected consequences.
