FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE ROMANTIC
For readers who fell in love with The Paris Wife and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
After her husband's death leaves her penniless in 1925 Provence, France, Mildred Beaumont cuts her hair, moves to Paris, and reinvents herself completely to sell the manuscript no one would touch from a grieving widow. As Jude McCormick, the American author she finds fame beyond anything Mildred ever dared imagine-wealth, admiration, and the attention of Thom La Croix, a man she cannot stop thinking about and can never, ever have.
So she invents someone else. Mathilde-elegant, mysterious, and finally, achingly, herself. A woman Thom can fall for honestly. Except Jude, Mathilde, and Mildred are all the same impossible secret. One slip, and she loses everything.
The Beautiful American is a novel about reinvention, ambition, and glamour-a story of a woman who disappeared so completely that she had no choice but to become extraordinary.
