"One universe, nine planets, 204 countries, 809 islands and 7 seas, and
I had the privilege of meeting you." --Unknown
When Tessa Talman first meets Simon Fremont, not only is she attracted
to him, she's intrigued by how different their lives are. He's a
dedicated scientist, practical, pragmatic, and grounded. She's a
head-in-the-clouds romance author. As their relationship grows, they
meet in places around the world, while continuing to live in different
countries. Though their feelings for each other deepen, their priorities
remain the same. Simon is in a hurry to be financially sound and settle
down, but Tessa is enjoying her freedom and newfound success. Neither is
willing to give in, but as each goodbye gets harder, Tessa begins to
wonder whether fame is the path to happiness, or if she has everything
she needs in Simon. Just as Tessa finds the courage to go after her own
happily ever after, the unthinkable happens, separating them in ways she
never imagined. To move forward, she must let go of the past and
determine once and for all if love is truly more powerful than the pain
of goodbye.
