Hi friends!
Eight weeks from today, I’ll hit the road for my MEET ME IN PARIS book tour. Won’t you come join me if I’ll be in your area? This year’s tour includes some old favorites (including the Delaware Shore, the Carolina coast, St. Louis, and Plainville, MA, plus my hometown leg of the tour in Orlando, St. Petersburg and Tampa), plus some new-to-me stops, including Nashville, Scottsdale, Tucson, Denver, Margate City (NJ) and Council Bluffs (IA).
The full schedule is below. If you can’t make it to one of my stops, you can pre-order a SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED copy of the book from my local independent bookstore, Writer’s Block, here.
Oh, and in the meantime, I’ll be live with Mary Kay Andrews and Patti Callahan Henry this week in Savannah to help launch Mary Kay’s new novel, Road Trip (Wednesday, June 3 at 6:30pm at the Otis Johnson Cultural Arts Center), and the following week, I have two Orlando-area appearances (Tuesday, June 9 at 6pm with Eliza Knight at Mead Botanical Garden, and Wednesday, June 10 at 10 am, when I’ll be doing the ribbon-cutting for the brand new Barnes & Noble in Lake Nona).

“A luminous, heart-tugging ode to love in all its forms—timeless, tender, and utterly unforgettable.” —New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren
“Breathtaking… Swoon-worthy… The must-read novel of the year.” —New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey
Kristin Harmel, the New York Times bestselling author who “is the best there is at sweeping historical drama” (Kelly Harms, author of The Seven Day Switch), returns with a captivating new novel about several intertwined stories of love, loss, courage, and redemption set over the course of one magical week in Paris.
Nine Americans in Paris. Seven intertwined love stories. One City of Light.
Love Actually meets The Notebook in a tale of love, loss, and finding your way home, all set over the course of one life-changing week in Paris.
Julia Glover has brought her twenty-three-year-old daughter, Piper, to Paris for the first time—but they know it will also be their last trip here together. Julia is dying, and as the mother and daughter desperately try to make memories together as the clock ticks down, the world opens up around them. Piper meets a cute French waiter, who might just understand her better than anyone she’s ever met, and Julia meets a man at a dive bar and struggles with how to tell him the truth about her future.
Rock star Jackson Quick’s glory days are behind him. He had a handful of hit songs thirty years ago, but he hasn’t toured in a decade. This week, he’ll launch his reunion tour in Paris, the city where it all began. But he wants more out of life than being defined by fame. When he meets a woman who finally sees him for who he is at his core, the ground shifts beneath his feet.
Henry McGee has been writing hit songs for decades—including Jackson Quick’s biggest hit, City of Light. But his secret is that every love song he’s ever written is for a woman named Celeste, whom he loved a lifetime ago, when they were both teenagers in Paris during World War II. He has spent eighty years believing she died—but when a letter arrives telling him the opposite, he’s on the first flight to France. Can he break through the haze of her dementia, using the songs he’s written all these years, to remind her of who they once were to each other—and to tell her he came back for her?
Henry’s granddaughter, Melody, has just discovered that her husband of twenty years, Gilles, a French cosmetics executive, is having an affair. When she confronts him, he tearfully apologizes and begs her to forgive him. But can she? And, perhaps even more importantly, does she want to? Or is there a different kind of life out there for her if she chooses to be alone?
These intertwining stories—plus several others—unfold over a few breathtaking spring days, as an unforgettable group of Americans in Paris must find their way to their own versions of happily ever after in the City of Light.
“An exquisitely woven narrative about the enduring power of love in all of its forms….Readers will turn the last page and want to start all over again.”–National Bestselling Author Jo Piazza
“This book is every kind of love story wrapped in the most perfect Parisian package….The way the characters’ lives intersect feels like Love Actually—only better.” —USA Today bestselling author Ali Brady
“Every time I think Kristin Harmel’s books can’t get any better, they do. I will read everything she ever writes.”—New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth
