He is tall, impossibly handsome. She is small and dazzlingly independent. He is an at times unemployed, semi-divorced father of two. She is a singer and songwriter whose music career is in jeopardy. They might never see each other, but they met and stayed together. A modern urban romance has begun. A funny couple solving a love crossword where hope and trust intersect with the burden of past deceptions and disappointments. A novel about tenderness, about unsaid words, about intimate knowledge that is known only to love.
