Living in the future is a dangerous game, but the present just isn't supplying the happiness Ali Devlin desires. She rolls the dice...Ali Develin never had any doubts about marrying Colin, but two beautiful children and twelve years later she is overwhelmingly doubtful. Where is the man she fell in love with? Why does she not feel the same way about him anymore? What has happened to them? When did it all go so wrong, and how is she ever going to fix it? Reigniting her passion for the arts, she finds a job in the City Arts Centre after years as a stay at home mammy. Befriending artist-in-residence, Owen O'Neill, Ali can't help but compare him to Colin. He is everything Colin isn't anymore: respectful, charming, caring, and undeniably sexy. There is definitely chemistry, but Ali isn't the type of woman to have an affair, is she? Unsure of exactly what she wants, one week in December a work trip to Amsterdam throws up the changes she desired. Changes she couldn't have seen happening. Changes that ruin her life.
