What makes a love story impossible? Is it the place, time, or the people involved? When does undeniable passion become so irresistible, so certain, that it defines fiction? Or is it inevitable that unquenchable desires, ignited by the casual smile of a stranger, the reconsideration of a moment's misjudgment, or the serendipity of being in the right place at the right time, are not only possible-but have the power to change lives?
Is it fate or fantasy?
- A selfish and ambitious man, allowing himself to fall in love for a single day, alters the rest of his existence.
- A woman seeking knowledge in a foreign land returns home with more memories than she ever thought possible.
- Attempting to satisfy her curiosity, a woman stumbles into a place where love is rare, and happily-ever-afters are forbidden, yet cannot find it in her heart to leave the man she finds there.
- An enduring affair has become so dangerous that a woman must destroy her desire to protect herself and everyone she loves.
Enjoy this collection of four impossible love stories that focus on the spontaneity and serendipity, perhaps even capriciousness, of an unplanned encounter that not only changed lives but also destinies.
