For years, Leonie Corinth lived the best of all possible lives in New York City, married to a successful investment banker and running her own So Ho antique shop. Now Leonie's happiness is gone and as she faces the aftershocks of a bitter divorce, she realizes she must leave Manhattan. She intends to build a new life for herself and never again to depend on a man. Moving to the beautiful countryside of upstate New York, Leonie buys an old, rundown Octagon-style house that she can restore while restoring her own battered soul. On the way to the meeting with her architect, Leonie accidentally hits another car. The accident is minor and easily forgotten, except for the alluring blue-green eyes of the other driver. In an inescapable twist of fate, the driver, Sam Nicholson, is the architect. Trapped in a loveless marriage, his creativity stifled by his wife's demands, and wishing for another life, Sam finds in Leonie a talented collaborator and an understanding listener. As they work closely together to make Leonie's dream house a reality, they realize they have fallen in love. Their love has emerged against all odds, but can it last till the end of time?
