Ronnie thought destiny had doomed him to be alone. Then he meets Rita, a woman who actually acknowledges his existence. He's willing to overlook her quirks, thinking nothing of them at first, allowing love to blossom fast. Soon they're talking about a future together. And children. Except Rita can't bear a child, and so fantasy-laced discussions about raising Ronnie's neighbour's baby are all that get them by. Until Rita forces fantasy to become reality. Soon they are on the run, with a baby and their love. Ronnie knows it's wrong, he wants to stop Rita, wants to take it all back, but love is just too damn powerful to reject. There's only one way this story is going to end – let acclaimed author Deborah Sheldon take you on its journey.
