The One Who Got Away
(2025)(The third book in the St. Michel series)
A novel by Nancy Robards Thompson
As the privileged daughter of a high-ranking official, Margeaux Broussard was once the golden girl of St. Michel. She seemed to have it all, except her the one thing she wanted most - her father’s love. At sixteen, she found solace in the friendship of schoolmate Henri Lejardin, a bond that grew into something deeper. When scandal threatened, her father sent her away, and Margeaux disappeared from St. Michel for good… or so everyone thought.
Sixteen years later, Margeaux returns to the island she swore she’d never revisit. She’s no longer the rebellious teen Henri remembers but a poised and accomplished woman. Yet beneath her polished exterior lies the same spark that captivated him all those years ago. Henri knows better than to get too close—his ambitions can’t afford the shadow of her past. But as their paths intertwine once again, he begins to imagine a future that defies all his carefully laid plans—one where Margeaux is by his side, no matter the cost.
Can Henri and Margeaux rewrite their shared history into a love story that defies the odds?
