Pat Walker is only interested in writing romance novels. So naturally, she uncovers a cosmic romance while she is supposed to be learning about the Voyager launch in her Space Science Class. Twenty years later, she is a bestselling author and hingeing on being engaged to marry her editor, when something-or someone-draws her to the boarding house on the old iron-gated estate. The old place comes to life in its 1920s splendor as she writes the story of the star-crossed lovers she believes once lived there. Twenty years later, there appears to be a connection between the 1920s most eligible bachelor in town she wrote about and the astrophysicist she studied about in 1977. Perhaps, some things were never meant to be understood even when they've just saved your life.
