The phone call came on a snowy December afternoon. Kate was certain it was Joe, her soulmate since they'd met thirty-four years before - but what she got was the one call she had never wanted. It took her mind back to the moment when she and Joe first met, when she was just seventeen and he was young, powerful, dazzling and different from any man she'd ever known Christmas, 1940, and Kate is making her début in New York society. Joe, the brilliant protege of Charles Lindbergh, seems just out of Kate's reach. As the months pass, they meet again, and although Kate goes off to study at Radcliffe and Joe skyrockets to fame in modem aviation, he is always drawn back to her, as a moth to a flame. When the war is over Kate wants a marriage and family - while Joe wants the world. Unwilling to wait any longer, Kate moves on with her life. But when a chance encounter brings them together again, the time has come to make a choice, one that will have profound consequences for the rest of their lives. A novel of extraordinary grace and compassion from a master storyteller.

But that plan is derailed when she ends up in a writing workshop with her archnemesis, Aide Mmtington an obnoxious, unreasonably gorgeous literary fiction writer who has no patience for romance - or for Rosie.

Could their manuscript-in-progress be the perfect outlet to explore their mutual attraction ? But a potentially career-changing opportunity soon reignites their old rivalry. Rosie and Aiden's once-in-a-lifetime love story is once again at risk of being shelved - unless they can find a way to end the book on their own terms ...
