Natalie Stover, newly published romance novelist, dreams of writing the all-time best seller. She has tried marriage, but prefers her fictional heroes to the real ones.

Instantly attracted to one another, they embark on a whirlwind affair that leaves Natalie pregnant. Brian also has a secret. He is being stalked by Sara.

Despite his success, Sara’s intrusions have made Brian a lonely recluse. Until he meets Natalie. Can these two creative minds overcome an evil one that plots to keep them apart? Nurture a love that could mean a future of happiness for both?
