Now And Forever

Destined Encounter on the Riviera

Set against the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera, Now And Forever introduces Cate Marshall, a celebrated Manhattan photographer, as she arrives in Cannes to capture the glamour of the film festival. Between flashes of paparazzi bulbs and the soft lapping of Mediterranean waves, she meets Alex Nolan, a visionary architect overseeing the restoration of a historic seaside villa. Their first conversation—sparked by a shared laugh over architectural blueprints—ignites a powerful chemistry that neither time nor distance can easily extinguish.

Shadows of a Bygone Promise

As Cate and Alex explore winding alleyways and hidden gardens, the shadows of past betrayals threaten to cloud their budding romance. Cate carries the weight of a broken engagement and a career-defining scandal, while Alex grapples with the legacy of a secret promise made to his late father. In moonlit cafés and art-filled salons, they slowly reveal their vulnerabilities, learning that true intimacy demands honesty as much as passion.

Winds of Change and Sacrifice

Just as their bond deepens, an unexpected opportunity forces Cate back to New York, where a prestigious gallery exhibition could catapult her career to new heights. Meanwhile, Alex faces pressure from financiers eager to modernize the villa at the expense of its heritage. Torn between ambition and allegiance, they confront difficult choices: should they chase individual dreams or forge a shared future? In this crucible of hope and heartbreak, love’s endurance is put to the ultimate test.

An Everlasting Promise of Tomorrow

Through setbacks and reconciliations, Cate and Alex discover that lasting love arises from unwavering support and selfless sacrifice. Their reunion beneath the villa’s restored balustrade leads to a promise as timeless as the Mediterranean tides—one that will carry them through every challenge life presents. Now And Forever is a sweeping tale of rediscovered faith, second chances, and the powerful conviction that some hearts are destined to beat as one. . Author’s description.
