A gap can be many things: a break, disparity, lack of balance, space between two people or things.  Whatever the meaning, it could apply to Eliza Jane Kerr.  

She wasn't looking for a time-out from her 'real' life, but she doesn't mind a short respite to make new goals, and to refine old ones.  When an unexpected visit home turns into a complete change of circumstance, she finds her goals no longer matter.  

Stepping away from a promising career, or at least taking a break from one, Eliza shows she's up to the challenges that come with her newly acquired responsibilities.  

With humor, love, and big dose of perseverance, she lays a foundation for the life she will live.

A/N: If you came in search of a story about a lost weak girl looking for a tall, dark, handsome man to protect her, then you are in the wrong place. I promise this is not a tale of a defenseless woman that needs someone to save her. She's just taking the mantle and starting over, with her positive attitude and self-esteem still firmly in place.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
