What do you do when the most important thing about you is something no one would ever believe?
There's a new girl in town, and when she moves into the little beach house next to Jake, he's immediately interested. Octavia is beautiful, intelligent and speaks with an exotic accent that no one can quite place. But what no one knows, including Jake, is that she's from the distant future. And she's here on a mission.
But falling in love was never part of the mission plan...
Jake is a divorcee with a precocious 11-year-old daughter. Octavia, raised in a eugenics farm in the 23rd century, never knew what it was like to have a loving family - until she meets Jake.
As their romance grows Octavia is torn between her mission and the people she loves, and Jake begins to suspect she's keeping something from him. For the first time in her life Octavia feels like she's part of a family and she isn't ready to give that up, but it's not long before she is forced to make a terrible choice. Does she remain in the past, with the only man she's ever loved and the only family she's ever had? Or does she fulfill her mission and return to the future? The decision she makes may very well alter the course of history.

She desperately wants to tell Jake the truth about herself, but how can he ever possibly believe it?
