Anna and Adam met on holiday in Spain seven years ago. They were both nursing a broken heart and neither of them were looking for love. But when Adam came to Anna’s rescue, they both realised that they couldn’t fight their attraction. They believed they would be together forever and that they were meant for one another. Seven years later, Anna thinks their relationship is over. They return to Spain, where they met, for a make-or-break holiday and Anna is about to drop a bombshell on Adam when a horrific accident changes everything.
The novel then takes an unexpected turn into the realms of science fiction and, though its developments may seem far-fetched, in Henley’s hands, they become plausible. Moreover, in an afterword, Henley explains that the novel’s events are based on current scientific research.
