This is one of the best Romance books I've read. - Reader reviewer
One of those can't put it down books of nostalgic proportions. The author really knows how to spin a story and keep a secret; that is, keep the reader guessing, splashing and sprinkling surprises and twists along the way when least expected. - Reader reviewer Jaye Burke has a great writing style. - NetGalley reviewer A TIMELESS ROMANCE Standalone by JAYE BURKE With a lyrical style and a poignant exploration of love, class, and survival, Jaye Burke weaves an emotional Southern saga that will linger in your heart long after the final page.She was raised to follow the rules of Southern society - but one summer at Belle Haven changed everything.
In the gilded world of 1916 New Orleans, Venice Arial is a young woman bound by duty and the unyielding rules of high society. Trapped by a future arranged marriage and her mother's cold control, Venice longs for freedom-and finds it at her beloved Belle Haven, the family's summer home on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain.
There, she meets Etienne Armand, a poor local boy who opens her eyes to a world beyond privilege. As summer fades and war looms, their forbidden love threatens to upend everything. But one heartbreaking decision will change the course of Venice's life-and haunt her for decades to come.
In 1991, ninety-five-year-old Venice, alone with her memories, reflects on the choices she made, the love she lost, and the secrets Belle Haven still holds.
From the splendor of Southern opulence to the shadows of war, this poignant, beautifully layered novel explores the enduring power of love, the cruelty of class, and the strength it takes to rewrite your fate.
