College history professor Leslie Meyer is on her way to Venice, Italy...and ready to move on with her life. She has just signed the divorce papers that are now on their way to her husband's attorney for him to sign, and within weeks their eighteen-year marriage will be over.

Her conference presentation in Venice is the final, all-important step on her long road to achieving the security of a tenured faculty position...but Leslie is well aware that her own department chairman is far from her biggest supporter, and she is increasingly worried that he has some unpleasant surprises waiting for her after she arrives in Venice.

Purely by chance, Greg Meyer needs to travel to Venice for business at the same time that Leslie will be there. Leslie has no plans to rendezvous with the man from whom she will soon be divorced, and hasn't even seen in more than a year.

Fate has other plans, though...

Leslie Meyer is well aware that her life is about to dramatically change... but exactly what changes await her will catch her by surprise!
