Twenty-two-year-old Giorgia Liberati has lived her whole life around a life-threatening heart condition. Always the ill person, she has grown accustomed to the day-to-day problems of her condition—but not the attacks that cause her shortness of breath and which may one day prove fatal.
Then she meets Sebastien, and her whole life changes. The attractive beach volleyballer instantly catches her eye, with his bright smile and eyes like deep emerald lakes. He seems to be drawn to her, too, and it doesn't take long until they're spending every day together.
The chance meeting of a lifetime promises to change the entire course of Giorgia's world. Could she have found the love she has hoped for all her life? And if she has, what new challenges does she face as she experiences romance for the first time while also living with a heart condition?
