Widowed at a young age, Penelope West now makes her living as an artist and art instructor. However, she is also in possession of certain spiritual gifts that allow her to comfort those in pain and even see inside the souls of strangers. At a charity event, Penelope locks eyes with the gorgeous Russell Howard and feels as though theyve met before. Russell is an injury solicitor, bored with his everyday life and uncommitted fianc. He finds Penelopes charity show to be meaningless until he meets the artist herself and is immediately taken with her beauty and mystery. Penelope is shocked to sense Russell is actually her soul mate, but theres a long list of problems involved in starting a relationship. First of all, Russell is engaged to someone else. Penelope, meanwhile, is happy to be single and independent, following a very rocky marriage. Yet, neither can resist the strong connection between them, and Russell is surprised by all the secret things Penelope seems to know about him. Could they have a happy life together, or will Penelopes need for freedom ruin their chance at becoming husband and wife?
