Moving between the present day and the Second World War, the novel follows two relationships separated by generations but connected through an unfinished manuscript and a collection of deeply personal letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has returned to Colorado after a painful and highly public divorce. She has surrendered her New York home, friendships and much of the life she once believed would last forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow living at the estate of her late great-grandmother, the celebrated romance novelist Scarlett Stanton, Georgia wants privacy, control and distance from anything resembling another love story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer plans are interrupted by Noah Harrison, a successful and charismatic romance author chosen to complete Scarlett’s final unfinished novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoah considers Scarlett one of the greatest writers of her generation and sees the manuscript as an extraordinary literary opportunity.

Noah has commercial success, film opportunities and a strong reputation as a modern romance writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgia does not believe those achievements qualify him to complete Scarlett’s most personal work. She is protective of her great-grandmother’s memory and suspicious of anyone who might turn the unfinished story into a commercial product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoah is equally determined.
