They've lost each other time and again.

Now is their last chance.

A lonely eternity awaits New Orleans computer analyst Kevan Buchanan and businesswoman Alyssa Cameron unless they can overcome the problems that kept them apart in their past lives.

Surrounded by darkness, he stood alone. A slight wind ruffled his hair and breezed lazily across his skin. On the horizon, light flickered and gnarled fingers of mist swirled together, thickening to fog and descending on him.

The fog parted, revealing the bumpy stone path. He walked down to its end. When the fog merged into a solid wall in front of him, he stopped and waited, feeling hollow, empty, and alone-emotions he wouldn't have recognized before Alyssa came into his life. He'd loved her. He still loved her. He always would.

An uneasy shiver crept up his spine. A funeral had just been held here. He'd never before envisioned a funeral . . .

Concentrating, his vision of it grew more focused, more clear. It was Alyssa's.
