A Good Year

Emma Bellamy has built a carefully planned life, with little room for chance. At forty, she holds a prestigious position within one of Europe's largest media groups and understands better than most the power of a well-told story.

At twenty-nine, Cleon Ashford is accustomed to life on the other side of the media machine. One of the most admired athletes in world football, he moves between stadiums, multimillion-dollar contracts, and a level of fame capable of turning every choice into a headline.

They seem to have little in common-until an unexpected encounter proves otherwise.

Across the United Kingdom and France, the growing connection between Emma and Cleon draws curiosity and judgment from people whose interests extend far beyond the two of them. In a world in which reputations are worth fortunes and the boundary between public and private life grows increasingly fragile, even a love story can become a battle over who has the right to tell it.

A Good Year is a story about carefully planned lives, choices that defy expectations, and an unexpected encounter capable of changing their course.
