Once fiercely in love, they can barely stand the sound of each other's voice.

With the newfound space and time, they are given a chance to rediscover their autonomous selves again. They both get back in the dating pool. Dani finds major success at work as a showrunner on her own TV project, while Alex faces the challenges of a new relationship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStill, they find that they just can't stay away from each other, and somehow, the distance allows them to remember (for the first time in years) what each used to love about the other. When a family crisis draws them back into each other's orbit, Dani and Alex are once again put to the test, which leads to a dramatic conclusion that will have readers weeping.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRenée Carlino \u003c\/b\u003eis a screenwriter and the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eSweet Thing, Nowhere But Here, After the Rain, Before We Were Strangers, Swear on This Life\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWish You Were Here\u003c\/i\u003e, which was optioned for film with Julia Stiles directing.
