Lovely In Time

Cally, an English PHD student, does not believe in love at first sight. She believes that when she chooses a mate it will be with her mind. She strongly believes in guarding her heart and holding true to her Christian principles. But when Cally meets the infamous Michael Paige, world renowned movie star, all her noble beliefs do not compare to the way she feels in his arms. Her romantic side tells her to live a little—to explore the wonder of new love, but her logical side tells her that giving into her feelings for Michael will one day leave her with a shattered heart. When she walks away from Michael, she vows that she will shut down these emotions and live her life once again guarding her heart, but on a blustery winter night over a year and a half later, Cally realizes Despair has become her only friend. Determined to exorcise her feelings for Michael, she writes their love story in the form of letters never believing she will send them to him.

When Michael meets Cally, he is instantly captivated. She possesses a certain quality that far surpasses physical beauty. She is an unconventional woman in all regards and within moments of meeting her he sees his match. However, Michael is used to the trappings of fame and the wealth that goes along with it. Jaded and cynical, he does not appreciate Cally's full worth. He loses her out of his own stubborn pride and foolishness, and only after he loses her does he see she means far more to him than any other woman ever did or ever would. He is forced to take an honest look at himself and at his lifestyle. He sees that much of his life is meaningless—a chasing after the wind. He realizes that Hollywood and all his past ambition have led him only to a place of loneliness and emptiness. On his horse ranch in Colorado in a cabin with a full view of the Rocky Mountains, Michael evaluates his life. In his most lonely moments, he writes Cally letters, and through the process of writing, he discovers who he is and what life is all about.
