Title: Occasional soulmates
Description: When the thirty-eight-year-old San Francisco doctor meets her new patient, a handsome British expat with the unlikely name of Dylan Cakebread (and an uncanny resemblance to Jude Law), she's convinced it's the start of her own relationship novel. He's an architect, no less -- always a key piece of her most indulgent fantasies -- and the heroine of a relationship novel always gets her fantasy man, right? Though their shaky start raises red flags that her oldest girlfriend, Jules, is quick to point out, Sarah can't help it. She falls hard for Dylan and it appears to be a two-way street. But maybe meeting your perfect mate in the exam room isn't the best opening act. Sarah thinks she's the cure for what ails him, but soon she learns the secret Dylan has been keeping from her. Now she has to choose between happiness and the illusion of it -- if Dylan doesn't take the choice out of her hands first. It's starting to look like this isn't her relationship novel at all: it's his.
