Finding Gabriel

By: Demeter, Rachel L.

He came home from war ready to end his life.
She had spent years learning how not to lose hers.

A SOLDIER WHO WAS MEANT TO DIE

Colonel Gabriel de Laurent went to war with no intention of returning. After a decade of bloodshed in Napoleon's army, he comes back to Paris broken and haunted-and nearly succeeds in ending it all.

A WOMAN WHO LEARNED TO SURVIVE

Orphaned at twelve and scarred by a devastating crime, Ariah Larochelle has learned to keep her back to the walls and to trust no one. But when she pulls a dying soldier from the icy waters of the River Seine, compassion outweighs caution-and she brings him into her home.

A LOVE FORGED IN DARKNESS

Scarred in body and soul, Gabriel finds an unexpected refuge in Ariah-and a connection he thought forever lost. As something fragile begins to grow between them, buried wounds and dangerous secrets threaten to tear it apart.

Because Ariah is not as defenseless as she seems...
And Gabriel is not the only one haunted by the past.

Can Gabriel and Ariah find love-or will the cycle of history repeat?

Finding Gabriel is a dark, emotional historical romance about survival, redemption, and the enduring power of love in the face of unimaginable loss.
