A chance encounter on the steps of the Sacre Coeur.
A love story that will last a lifetime.

When Erica and Laure meet in Paris in 1978, their connection is instant. Erica is a student, relishing her first summer abroad before beginning university at home in England. Laure is studying at the Sorbonne, trying to find her own voice in a city full of art.

Knowing how this must end, Erica and Laure can't help but fall into a love that neither of them are ready for.

But their encounter turns into far more than a summer romance. It is the beginning of a relationship that will define their lives and every decision they have yet to make. Spanning cities, decades and heartbreaks, fate brings them within touching distance again and again.

But will they be brave enough to seize the life they truly want?
