The Normandy Sketchbook

She was running from her past. He was stuck in his. Together, they found their future.

After a painful divorce leaves her questioning every choice she’s ever made, Claire Donovan escapes to France for two quiet weeks of healing, art, and anonymity. No expectations. No attachments. Definitely no falling in love.

Étienne Marchand is a brilliant, reserved professor who has spent years keeping his heart carefully guarded after losing his wife. His life is built on routine, discipline, and emotional distance—until a sharp-witted American tourist disrupts his lecture and his carefully ordered world.

What starts as academic friction turns into stolen glances, long conversations, and evenings wrapped in candlelight and history. Claire awakens something Étienne thought was gone forever. Étienne shows Claire what it feels like to be truly seen.

There’s just one problem.

Claire is leaving.

Étienne is staying.

And neither trusts their heart enough to risk breaking it again.

As the days slip by and the goodbye draws closer, they must decide whether this love is only a beautiful moment in time—or the beginning of something worth fighting for.

Tender, slow-burning, and rich with atmosphere, Where the Light Falls is a deeply emotional romance about grief, healing, and the terrifying courage it takes to choose love when it finally finds you.
