Five Days in Paris

As president of a major pharmaceutical empire, Peter Haskell has power, position, and a family he cherishes, for which he has sacrificed much. Compromise and integrity define his life. Olivia Thatcher, wife of a prominent senator, has devoted herself to her husband's ambitions, leaving her feeling empty and trapped in a life she no longer recognizes. The death of her son has left her shattered. Their worlds collide one night in Paris during a bomb threat at the Ritz, leading to a fleeting yet transformative encounter in the Place Vendôme. In a Montmartre café, they share their vulnerabilities—Peter, once confident in his marriage and career, now faces uncertainty, while Olivia grapples with her inability to continue in her current life. When Olivia vanishes, Peter suspects it’s not foul play. If he finds her, what will happen next? They have only five days in Paris before returning to their separate lives, forever changed. Back home, both must navigate challenges, compromise, and betrayal, ultimately realizing they must confront life's obstacles directly and stand firm against the compromises that have defined their lives.
