Chapter 1: Naomi

Is life a series of transactions, or does it hold surprises for those who least expect it?

Naomi Rowe and Kieran Colburn have one thing in common: they're both jaded to the world around them. Living lives that they never wanted and suppressing their dreams for other people have gotten them nowhere.

When the two meet, chemistry instantly ensues. But what will happen to the smoldering flames when outside forces seek to push the two apart? Through obstacles and even fighting their own conscience, the two will have to answer one pressing, important question.

Is love fate or timing?
