THE PARIS PROPOSAL
Erin Baldwin Kristen Chaudière
This charming rom-com that asks if a working permit in Paris is worth a young American's heart.
When Jess lands a coveted event-planning role at the Louvre, she hopes it'll be the fresh start she needs after being let go from her last museum job.
But just as she's settling into her charming (but tiny) Paris room, she learns there's an issue with her work permit. If she doesn't secure a long-term visa within 60 days, she'll have to leave Paris. There's no way Jess is crawling home to California - especially not after she learns that her egotistical, art-world god ex-fiancé is now married to the gorgeous model he cheated on her with. She's just going to have to do what she's done a thousand times before: get to work and figure it out. Her research turns up one possible solution: marry a French citizen. But that would be crazy - wouldn't it?
Enter Theo, the charming if annoyingly "laissez-faire" guy she meets-cute on the metro platform. After suffering a recent tragedy, Theo's family is eager for him to move back home to Provence and take over the family winemaking business. He knows the only way his parents would ever agree to let him pursue his own passions -which include filmmaking and international travel- is if they believe he's found true love. An American "wife" who only has a year-long contract with the Louvre sounds like just the ticket out he needs.
As they prepare for their upcoming pre-wedding interview with the French government, Jess and Theo navigate cultural clashes, interfering families, and undeniable chemistry. But when a week at the chateau sparks some unexpectedly real feelings, Jess must decide how far she's willing to go to secure her visa -and whether she's ready to risk her carefully guarded heart.
Kristen Gordon Chaudière held positions at the National Gallery in London, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Kristen enjoys life on a wine estate in the Provencal village of Mormoiron.
Erin Baldwin published her debut novel, a YA romance called Wish You Weren't Here (Viking Children), in 2024. Her second YA novel is due out from Viking in Summer 2026. She currently lives in Colorado.
