A celebration to get through, a day to organize, someone to reassure: Louise always finds a solution. At Présences, looking after others is her job. In her family, it has become her role. When her mother asks to reclaim her time, Louise does not immediately understand what she feels she is losing. When the agency offers her a chance to lead, she hesitates to admit how much she wants it. Adrien arrives amid these changes. With him, Louise also discovers the pleasure of wanting something for herself.

Adrien, the risk of love

THE PLEASURE OF READING

A romance that takes its time

Feelings grow through a conversation, shared laughter and the wish to stay a little longer. Louise and Adrien already have full lives, loved ones and ambitions that complicate their choices. This adult contemporary romance brings a gradually developing love story together with family, work and freedom. Intimacy remains suggested. The novel tells a complete story in one volume.

CONTINUE THE DISCOVERY

Caring for others while keeping a life of your own

Louise knows how to anticipate a worry, organize a meeting and stay beside someone who is afraid. Those gestures are valuable in her work at Présences. They become harder to understand when they merge with a family obligation. The novel follows this shift through conversations, missed opportunities and small everyday compromises.

Her relationship with Adrien grows within an already busy life. It opens room for desire while the demands of work and her relationship with her mother remain. Hélène’s wishes make Louise listen differently. Between Lyon and a possible stay in Lisbon, the story follows people learning to say what they want and face the consequences of their choices.
