About the book
From the New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry, The Idea of Love poses the question, "Is it possible for two people to come together under the wrong circumstances and still find happiness?"
Ella's life has been turned upside down. She is young, beautiful, and deeply in love--or so she thought, until her husband tragically dies in a sailing accident. Or at least, that's the story she tells everyone. Screenwriter Hunter is in desperate need of a new hit, but his severe writer's block and lack of motivation are holding him back. He is searching for a love story, regardless of who it belongs to.
When Hunter and Ella cross paths in Watersend, South Carolina, it feels like destiny. Hunter sees in Ella the perfect love story, one filled with longing and sacrifice, fit for a blockbuster film. For Ella, Hunter represents a chance at a different life, a chance to fulfill her fantasies. After all, what harm can a little white lie do between strangers?
However, one lie leads to another, and soon Hunter and Ella are entangled in a web of deceit. As they struggle to unravel the truth and take back control of their lives, they can't ignore the undeniable connection keeping them together.
