Somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow, Cerys Botticelli lost a lifetime.
At eighteen, Cerys has everything she could ever ask for. A family she adores. A home filled with memories. A future waiting patiently ahead of her.
And Niccolo Guerra.
He is the boy who knows her laughter, the keeper of her secrets, and the person who makes her believe that perhaps some loves are written long before two people ever meet. One night is all it takes for the feelings they've hidden to finally surface. For one perfect night, Cerys believes she knows exactly where her life is going.
Then she wakes up.
Thirty-five years have passed.
The world outside has moved on without her, everyone she knows has changed, and the life she remembers exists only inside her own mind. To everyone else, her story sounds impossible. To Cerys, it is the only truth she has ever known.
As the years pass, she is forced to live with the consequences of a past no one believes existed. But somewhere beneath the doubt, the loneliness, and the years separating her from the life she lost, one thing refuses to disappear:
Niccolo.
So Cerys begins the impossible journey back to Italy.
Forty-two years after she left, she returns to the place where her story began, carrying memories that should have faded long ago and a love that time should have destroyed.
The Villa is still there.
Her home is still there.
And then she finds him.
But after decades apart, can two people who were separated by time possibly find their way back to one another?
Or was their love never meant to belong to just one lifetime?
Because time may steal a moment, a memory, or even an entire life...
but it cannot always steal a love that was never meant to end.
