A young widow with a tragic past imbibes in a deadly combination of pain killers and martinis at her dead husband's funeral and confides in a complete stranger she's unexplainably attracted to that she is unsure she can start over again and then she kisses him, and the fireworks really begin.Julia Hamilton's chance encounter with Jake Winston leads to an inexplicable connection that begins with a kiss and quickly ends with Jake saving her life. A mortified Julia explains away this lapse of judgment with the pills and the booze and the strange interlude with Jake by telling her well-meaning best friends that it was just one kiss in a weak moment and tragic circumstances for both of them. She insists that it doesn't change anything. But deep down, Julia already knows that this connection to Jake is at a soul level and that she is secretly feeling things that she shouldn't be feeling, and that this strange attraction between them will change everything. And, therein lies the problem.What Readers Are Saying About Seeing Julia"I found this book to be immediately captivating...The initial chapters reminded me of Maggie O'Farrell's "After You'd Gone," that's how impressed I was."
