A hidden identity romance set in the kitchens and cobblestones of Paris and London.
Cordelia Dyer didn't come to London to fall in love. Six months after walking away from a cheating ex, the American pastry chef is finally building something that's hers: a cookbook, a career at one of the city's most prestigious restaurants, and a life on her own terms.
Royce Brownell didn't come to Paris to be found. A historian nursing the wounds of an academic scandal, he's hiding behind a borrowed name and a quiet life of research. The last thing he needs is a complication, especially one with flour-dusted hands and a talent for seeing through people.
A collision on a dusty Paris street throws them together. What starts as reluctant attraction deepens into something neither expected: a connection built on midnight conversations, shared meals, and the slow unraveling of each other's carefully guarded walls.
But Royce is hiding more than heartbreak. And when his secret surfaces, Cordelia must decide whether the man she's fallen for is real or just another beautiful lie.
Perfect for readers who love the wit and emotional pull of Emily Henry's Book Lovers, the European glamour and class tensions of Evie Dunmore's Bringing Down the Duke, the travel-romance warmth of Christina Lauren's The Unhoneymooners, and Carly Fortune's Every Summer After.
We Met in Paris is the first book in The Hayton Collection, a contemporary romance series that follows Cordelia and Royce from Paris to Venice, through the Scottish Highlands, and home to London.
