      Can twenty-four hours on an island paradise make up for a lifetime of lost chances? When Maggie accepts one last commission before retiring from journalism, she's given twenty-four hours on a private island to interview former Hollywood heart-throb Ed Cavanagh. There are just two problems: Ed doesn't want anything to do with Maggie's 'Where Are They Now?' exclusive, and he's also the only man who ever broke her heart. It's a scenario she never expected--to be in paradise with a man she first met as a teenager but has been trying to forget for the past fifteen years. As each precious hour brings back memories of their tangled love story, Maggie is forced to confront the painful twists of fate that kept them apart. Was a different future for them ever possible? Is it still possible now? But Maggie has work to do. As the clock ticks down on their time on the island, and with Ed proving evasive, she has to find a way back to the man she used to know. They've both been burned by love in the past; will this fleeting reunion extinguish the spark between them for good--or is it one last chance to kindle that flame?

Rachel has landed on her feet: engaged to handsome author Jonny, soon to be stepmother to his young daughter Teddy, and with a dream to open her own art gallery. It's everything she wished for during her unsettled childhood. So when she meets candid and carefree American artist Gabe at a party and feels a familiar spark, she knows she needs to resist. But as her perfect life moves forward, Gabe is never far away, and there's no denying the lure of the spontaneous, wildly adventurous existence he seems to offer. His is a world of endless possibilities--ones Rachel can't let herself be tempted by if she's ever to stay the safe course with Jonny. But how can she focus on the life she thought she wanted when she can't help imagining the alternative? One thing's for certain: Gabe is more than a minor character in Rachel's life. And as their paths intersect over seasons and decades, each meeting presents Rachel with a choice that could alter everything, and she has to wonder whether the life story she once fought for is the version she's meant to be living...
