For years, Leonie Corinth lived the best of all possible lives in New York City, married to a successful investment banker and running her own So Ho antique shop. Now Leonie's happiness is gone and as she faces the aftershocks of a bitter divorce, she realizes she must leave Manhattan. She intends to build a new life for herself and never again to depend on a man. Moving to the beautiful countryside of upstate New York, Leonie buys an old, rundown Octagon-style house that she can restore while restoring her own battered soul. On the way to the meeting with her architect, Leonie accidentally hits another car. The accident is minor and easily forgotten, except for the alluring blue-green eyes of the other driver. In an inescapable twist of fate, the driver, Sam Nicholson, is the architect. Trapped in a loveless marriage, his creativity stifled by his wife's demands, and wishing for another life, Sam finds in Leonie a talented collaborator and an understanding listener. As they work closely together to make Leonie's dream house a reality, they realize they have fallen in love. Their love has emerged against all odds, but can it last till the end of time?

Judith Gould, whose books have been translated into twenty-two languages, lives and writes in Malden Bridge, New York.
Reeling from a painful divorce to a wealthy Wall Street stockbroker, beautiful Leonie Corinth decides to start her life over. She moves to the Hudson River Valley with only a small amount of money. Using her impeccable taste, she plans to buy old, dilapidated houses, fix them up and decorate them, then sell them to rich New Yorkers. Supported emotionally by her sassy real-estate agent and best friend, Mossy, she takes on the arduous task of renovating an ancient octagon-shaped house. Leonie chooses handsome Sam Nicholson as her architect on the project because he shares her vision. As they restore the mansion to its former beauty, Leonie and Sam fall in love with its unusual charms and with each other. This novel has all the right components: romance, a beautiful setting, deceit, and strong-willed, independent characters. Although it can be a bit predictable at times and the ending is a little too convenient, it is well written and a great book in which to lose oneself. Alexandra Baker
