Hi jmas24,
I believe I have located the book you are looking for. The book is
called "Miracle" by Deborah Smith.
From a customer review in Amazon:
"When this story starts, Amy Miracle is a poor 18 yr. old daughter of
a former circus clown. Her father is abusive to her and because of
this she feels very unlovable...Sabastien deSavin is a very capable
heart surgeon whose father owns a large vineyard in France...When he
was a child his mother and two siblings were killed in an automobile
accident, leaving him the only survivor. The bitter memory of this has
left him a very angry young man...When he and Amy's paths cross he is
just finishing his stint in an American Hospital and is soon to leave
for Africa for two years before returning to France...Amy falls in
love within the very short weeks that she spends with Sebastien.
Sebastien leaves for Africa as planned and repressed his feeling for
Amy...He continues to live his life in France and experiences more
loses and disappointments. He returns to America and buys a vineyard
in California...Unknown to him, Amy has a career as a comedienne and
actress after completing college...In the 10 years they have been
apart they each held their love of each other buried deep in their
hearts. When their paths again cross they find that their love and
desire for each other is as strong as ever...Their lives still have
some rocky roads ahead."
