A soul linked, near and afar, She loves you simply for who you are. Behind a mask her truth may lie, But other times, she is clear as the sky. You know not her face, only as half, She knows you, via photograph. Invisible links are made between people at birth. The person you are linked to is your soul mate. For miraculous holders however, if a pair of soul mates both possess a miraculous, they are able to use their magical items to better learn and understand their true love. However, the answers they are given are always cryptic, never giving a straight answer. And their links may be there, but they may not understand exactly who their love is for. In some ways, their love is always strained. But always, their love is the purest.

Some opposites attract; some rip each others clothes off. Stormy-Rain and Marcus are polar opposites: she's a free-spirited, Tarot card reading, rainbow-haired hippie; he wears a suit and tie, and over-shines his already too-shiny shoes. She believes in ancient aliens, crystal healing and auras; he's governed by law and logic, and doesn't believe in Fate. But Fate believes in them...So what happens when their worlds collide and disaster strikes? When they're thrown together under strange circumstances and embark on an epic road trip to catch a plane to a wedding a long way from home? The clock is ticking...and they are seriously ticking each other off. But they're about to discover just how thin the line is between love and hate.
