"A flawless gem of a story. Its intriguing plot, delightful characters, and perfect settings make it an outstanding read that promises excitement, romance, and a touch of mystery." 5-Stars Literary Titan.

The Heiress, 1975: She had everything a young woman could want: beauty, brains, and a fortune to match. But beneath her perfect facade, Tiana Manning carried a secret that threatened to destroy her.

It all began in Paris in 1972 when fifteen-year-old Tiana first met Father Philippe Gagnon. Charismatic and charming, he captured her heart and left her smitten. Three years later, when Tiana's world falls apart, Philippe, now a bishop, reappears and supports her in her time of need. Her schoolgirl crush transforms into passionate love.

But just as quickly as he returned to her life, Philippe was gone again—first to the Vatican and then to Australia.

Determined to follow him and confess her love, a chance meeting gives Tiana the perfect cover story. She becomes involved in uncovering a terrible lie told to a former 1950s British child migrant sent to a Perth Catholic institution, giving her the excuse to fly to Australia.

But will her bishop still be there, and if so, what on earth will he say when she turns up at his door unannounced?

If you enjoyed the gripping themes of The Thorn Birds, the heartwrenching story of Empty Cradles, or the powerful impact of the movie Spotlight, you won't be able to put this book down.
