The Look: Paris for the Last Time

By Maria Pryor Herndon

Melissa Matthews is a retired French teacher and grandmother who has decided to embark on a final farewell trip to Paris, a city she has learned to love over the years. But when she arrives, Melissa, a twice-divorced senior, begins having second thoughts about her decision to travel alone to a city known for attracting lovers.

Melissa, who is still pining over a former love, has no intention of meeting anyone until she collides with a gorgeous African American man outside her hotel one day. Philip Nance, who is Christian and very much available, wants a woman he can pursue and win. As sparks immediately fly between Philip and Melissa, neither can stop thinking about the other after they go their separate ways. When fate leads them to meet again, the pair falls in love. But there is only one problem: Philip lives in Paris; Melissa in California. When he makes her a tempting offer, now only time will tell if their love will be strong enough to carry them through their challenges and to the happily-ever-after they both deserve.

In this Christian romance, the lives of an American divorcée and an expat living in Paris intertwine as they fall in love and search for a way to be together forever.
