THE BUTLER - DANIELLE STEEL TASCHENBUCH

Everything happens for a reason . . . Joachim von Hartmann is born into a wealthy Argentine
banking family and spends his early years in Buenos Aires. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed  he has
inherited the looks of his German ancestors  while his twin brother Javier could not be more
different. Following the death of their father  and when details emerge about Joachim's
maternal grandfather's wartime activity  both boys and their mother  Liese  are cast out from
the family. After the years of glamour and luxury  she must raise them alone with no financial
support. Eventually Liese meets and falls in love with a French art expert  and she and Joachim
move to Paris without Javier  who refuses to leave his beloved Argentina. Rumours soon start to
circulate that he's involved in the drugs trade. Following a whim  Joachim moves to England to
train as a butler and discovers that he loves his role working for the aristocracy on their
fine estates. On the death of his last employer  Joachim decides to move back to France to
spend some time with his mother. He finds that there's no call for butlers in Paris  but he
does find a job putting his skills to good use acting as assistant and confidant to Olivia  an
American who needed to escape her life in New York. Both Joachim and Olivia hold secrets about
their past  and as reports come through that Javier's life in the Columbian underworld is
spiralling out of control  they must  as brave and honourable people  make some difficult
decisions. What they come to understand is that destiny has a hand in their future and
everything that came before had a reason. She had come to Paris to find him. The future would
unfold as it was meant to and they would face it together.
