Wealth cannot buy peace … or direction.
For Cora Kensington, the Grand Tour was to be the trip of a
lifetime. She discovered the family she never knew she had, and may have even
found the love she longs for in Will. And yet her life has just become
infinitely more challenging …
Hounded by journalists chasing the beguiling story of the
newest American heiress, Cora fights to remain true to her past, reconcile her
present, and still embrace her future. But as Will struggles with her newfound
wealth, she begins to wonder if their love is strong enough to withstand all
that threatens to pull them apart.
Complicating matters is the stubborn pursuit of Pierre de
Richelieu and the increased demands on her time and attention. Cora must stand
up for what she believes—regardless of how that might challenge current family
and cultural norms—in order to remain true to who she really is.
And as she glimpses the end of the tour, Cora knows it’s
time to decide Who and what defines her … and who and what does not.

Bergren’s The Grand Tour Series. The

and Grave Consequences. Readers will

done, as Ms. Bergren brought the Kensington family saga through many different
trials to an ending that readers will be happy with.

 About the book: Lisa T. Bergren's popular Grand Tour series concludes as Cora Kensington journeys farther into Italy, wrestles with a terrible ultimatum from her father, and comes to terms with the Father who will never fail her.

And when her newly-discovered siblings are threatened with ruin, her quandary deepens. Then as Cora nears Rome, more journalists are tracking the news story of the decade---"Copper Cora," the rags-to-riches girl---and want to know more about her family and the men vying for her attention. Meanwhile, a charming Italian countess decides that if Cora isn't going to claim Will's heart, she might just
try . . .
