About this audiobook
'A beautifully written tale of enduring love' Rowan Coleman
One night in December, Marianne Cooper is running away from a party. Having found her boyfriend in a passionate clinch with someone else, she can’t get away fast enough.
That same night, twenty-two year old Ted Green is trying to make the hardest decision of his life. What he really needs is someone he can confide in.
When Marianne meets Ted, with the lights of London shining around them, the night becomes one they’ll never forget. Because this night might just be the start of a love story to last them a lifetime. But as Ted watches Marianne leave in a black taxi, all he can think is he should have asked for her name and phone number.
In a story spanning twenty years, join Ted and Marianne as they navigate life’s twists and turns, joys and heartbreaks, while all the time wondering - will fate ever bring them together again… Perfect for fans of Sophie Cousens and Isabelle Broom.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was well written and so full of near misses. An Interesting story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the way these characters go through since the day they first met to the end of the story. There are a lot of consequences there, but they are all possible, even if it is much. Over all - I liked this story.
