   Summary

   Taggie O'Hara and Rupert Campbell-Black. Two artists, with completely different approaches to their passion.
   Both working at an art gallery for the summer, Taggie as an intern, and Rupert as the artist for an upcoming exhibition.
   Both talented, inspired individuals, with completely different styles.
   

   Both soulmates to other people. But will it matter in the face of their growing chemistry? When their own contrasting visions cause them to be stuck working together for the summer, they'll both grapple with what it means to be at the mercy of fate.
   

   The minor character/children deaths are completely off-page, mentioned briefly as the news is given, and then only in retrospect.
