Books like Bitter-Sweet by Denise Robins
Raine, a young woman fleeing a sensational affair with the Londoner Clifford Culver, is sent to rest with her grandmother in a villa on the Mediterranean coast. The scenic setting of Cannes and the sparkling blue sea sets the stage for a dramatic love triangle. While the serious French artist Armand offers him a steady, artistic companionship, Culver’s double‑dealing and hidden motives pull Raine back into a whirlwind of doubt, deceit, and longing.
As Raine struggles with her true feelings—her passion for the light‑hearted Londoner and her growing feelings for the sensitive artist—each choice draws her closer to the moments that will decide whether she can finally find love and happiness.
