A story of passion and intrigue, of two women drawn together by destiny. It is set in the last golden days before the First World War when a beautiful house and garden inspired some of the world’s greatest paintings. It is 1913 and the elderly Monet is fighting cataracts to create his Water Lily panels. Blanche, his stepdaughter, has renounced her considerable painting talent to support him. Into this orderly household, Judith arrives like a shooting star. Her reckless presence disturbs long buried memories until Blanche intervenes with tragic results.

It is 1937. Isabelle Goldstein, a beautiful young American, arrives in Normandy’s Giverny, determined to discover her mother’s secret. Monet’s stepdaughter, Blanche, feels threatened by these consequences of a past when her special relationship with her stepfather was undermined. She will do anything to prevent the secret coming to light, knowing it will destroy several lives. Old passions are revived until finally Blanche is reconciled to her ill-fated love affair. Expat American artist, Robert, triumphs in protecting Isabelle from romantic disaster, when once he failed Judith, her mother.

Caroline was a free spirit of the Sixties until her travels brought her to Rome where she fell disastrously in love with Marco. Years later her daughter Amy arrives in the city determined to unearth this tale of love and loss. Her quest takes her into a world of cats and eccentric cat ladies, long hidden family secrets and a perilous affair with mysterious Davide. A ginger cat called Leonardo provides the missing link in Caroline’s romantic story. Yet there is a surprise awaiting Amy that will change her destiny.

Amy is on a quest to discover a serial poisoner of Rome’s street cats. Her story becomes more complicated when she tries to forget her passion for the inexplicably absent Davide in favour of Giorgio. But several apparent sightings of her new lover in locations of cat deaths persuade her she may be exchanging one mystery for another. When surprising truths are revealed, Amy is faced with a life changing choice. Learning to love, whatever the odds, can be hard and we pay dearly for it.
