Lillian is charming, beautiful . . . and slowly dying of consumption.
But she doesn't wish to end her days in a hospital in the Alps. She
wants to see Paris again, then Venice--to live frivolously for as long
as possible. She might die on the road, she might not, but before she
goes, she wants a chance at life.
Clerfayt, a race-car driver, tempts fate every time he's on the road. A
man with no illusions about chance, he is powerfully drawn to a woman
who can look death in the eye and laugh. Together, he and Lillian make
an unusual pair, living only for the moment, without regard for the
future. It's a perfect arrangement--until one of them begins to fall in
love. . . .
