***

Can the future be rewritten?

On the verge of her second marriage, Carla Carter knows she s finally found the one. She and her fiance, Tom, met through Logical Love, a dating agency she founded for the pragmatically minded, and she s confident that, together, they will dispel an old family curse claiming Carter women are unlucky in love.

But Carla s highly superstitious family insists she visit a fortune teller before her big day, and the tarot cards reveal that a different man holds the key to Carla s happiness - someone she met while travelling during a gap year, twenty-one years ago. This startling information spurs Carla to trace and revisit the ex-boyfriends she met during that time before she walks down the aisle.

From Barcelona to Amsterdam, Turkey to Paris, will Carla find her perfect match? And can a face from her past help Carla rewrite her entire family history, forever?
