Was she fated to love him?
That was what Genie Compton began to wonder--and fear--when she met reclusive artist Byron de Stefano. Fear because her fiance's sudden death had left her wary of love, despite her sister's claims that a romance with Byron was "in the stars."
Genie was instantly and intensely attracted to Byron: that much was true. And he seemed to feel the same way about her. But she knew he had his own torments, his own tragedy, to contend with.
So here they were, two people passionately drawn to each other, two people still suffering the pain of loss. Were the "signs" right? Could fear and doubt be vanquished--by love?
