Does true love still exist?

Forget the joys and woes of online dating. Can two busy, independent adults living on opposite coasts who don’t use Facebook or Twitter;  who don’t bother with iPads, Match.com or even cell phones;  and who have absolutely no desire for another relationship (ever); fall in love?

This is the crucial question sticking in the quiver of The God of Love, whose career as a matchmaker is on the line unless he can prove he’s still relevant in this world of tweeters, texters and sexters who seem to do nicely without his services. He gets one more chance to work his old magic and get a great man and woman together, or he’s out of a job.

Enter Evan and Eve, whose life experiences make them—particularly her–wary when they meet. Evan is an outdoorsman, car enthusiast and book anthologist who has given up on love; Eve is a former ballerina who now runs her own Vermont maple sugar farm. When an ice storm threatens to destroy Eve’s maple trees, and Evan’s ex-girlfriend, now ill, begs him to take her in, their love implodes.  The God of Love is powerless to intercede. But the soul of a man and the heart of a woman are stronger even than the will of the Gods and the treachery of mortals, and the result is a love story for this day– and for all time.

In A Godsend, acclaimed author and thought-leader Dalma Heyn (The Erotic Silence of the American Wife; Marriage Shock: The Transformation of Women into Wives; and Drama Kings: The Men Who Drive Strong Women Crazy) teams with her husband, writer and editor Richard Marek, to create a love story for all of us who are no longer kids; who are ambivalent but hopeful even when we know how easily an affair can be sabotaged; but who also know that love happens in an instant….at any age.
