On a beautiful September evening in 1963, a woman sits near the Spanish Steps in Rome sipping a Cinzano. Marina Taylor, here for business, is loathe to return to England and her broken marriage.

Her hearts skips a beat when her eyes connect with the man by the Vespa, and when he speaks her whole world is turned on it's side. Sadness forgotten, she is drawn to him by an inexplicable force.

Meeting Nicholas Carrera is the beginning of new discoveries about her self, her dormant passion, and her hidden gifts, as her remaining hours in Rome are spent by his side. It is the foundation that will shape her life going forward.
