Summary
There are only two men in Emma's life--her father, a remote artist who leaves her in boarding school and sees her every few years, and Christo, who has been her stepbrother for a few months and now wants to get to know her. But until Emma can understand what she means to them, there can be no room for love. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
