Following their return from Croatia, and a mission that led them across time and space, Dr. Ava Grant and Dr. Jackson Clark find themselves back in their normal routines. Perhaps somewhat disappointed over not yet resolving the mystery that so perplexed them in Chasing Paper Moons, they are both a bit more contemplative than they are accustomed to being. While Dr. Ava Grant is more determined than ever to venture through her world alone, Dr. Jakson Clark once again persuades her to join him in a whirlwind romance that perhaps builds off of their romance in the previous novel. Once again, Dr. Jackson Clark requests that Dr. Ava Grant marry him, and this time he intends to offer Ava the engagement and wedding ceremony she truly dreams of having. In the process, Dr. ava Grant continues with her teaching position and builds her own small start-up business as she opens her own retail store in a prominent location within the community.
