How to Fall in Love: A Novel

"Move over, Romeo and Juliet, Burton and Taylor, even Baby and Johnny-here come Evan and Eve! . . . a daringly simple, utterly fresh love story."-Linda Gottlieb, producer of Dirty Dancing

When Cupid's job is deemed expendable (as the heavens are downsizing), he manages to buy a little bit of time by asking for one more chance to show that he can orchestrate a love for the ages . . . but the clock is ticking.

Down on Earth, former ballerina Eve Golyakovsky is living a quiet life in Vermont, tending to her maple sugar business. She dearly loved her late husband, a famed choreographer, but more as a mentor than as a spouse. She's never been truly touched by romance, and she's okay with that.

Evan Cameron is a well-known anthologist with a penchant for fine automobiles and commitment-free affairs. Love has threatened to visit him on occasion, but he's always managed to keep it from taking up residence. When Eve and Evan meet, there's something almost otherworldly about their connection. But when their budding romance is tested, old habits and new fears seem likely to choke this flower off at the roots. A love this intense might be more than either of them can handle-and more than even Cupid can nurture . . .

At once heartwarming and wise, funny and touching, How to Fall in Love "has its lovestruck eyes wide open. There is Divine Intervention in this beautifully written story, but the outcome is up to the mortals. A sexy and soulful novel" (Joanna Gleason, Tony Award-winning actor).
