Signed Celestine: A 1900s Parisian Christmas Fairy Tale (Paperback) - with swag

The Courtesan Who Came to Christmas Dinner… and Changed Everything.

Christmas in Paris, 1900. Beneath the glittering lights of the World’s Fair and the velvet haze of the Palais Rose, Celestine reigns as the most enchanting courtesan in the city—desired, celebrated, and hopelessly trapped in a life she never truly chose.

Adrien Louis, a grieving widower and wealthy merchant, has closed his heart to the world. His cold Parisian townhouse mirrors the life he leads—silent, empty, untouched since the tragedy that shattered him four years ago.

When a pair of noisy sisters in the neighboring townhouse set their sights on the handsome Monsieur Louis, he makes a desperate, almost absurd, decision: he hires Celestine to pose as his companion for Christmas dinner.

What begins as a convenient arrangement soon reveals unexpected truths. Behind Celestine’s shimmering façade is a woman yearning for freedom. Behind Adrien’s sorrow lies a man still capable of profound love.

As Paris glows with holiday magic and Christmas cheer, an unlikely connection sparks, one that neither of them believes they deserve, yet both are powerless to resist.

But love in the City of Light has a way of exposing everything: longing, fear, hope… and the courage to imagine a different life.

A Parisian fairytale of passion, heartbreak, and second chances, Celestine will sweep you into a world where even the coldest hearts can be warmed, and the most dazzling courtesan may become the heroine of her own story.
