Publisher's Synopsis
One love. Two souls. Three lifetimes.
London, 1874. Wealthy British merchant Ambrose Montmorency never imagined he had a soul mate. He certainly never thought that when he met the jasmine-scented woman who would complete him, she would be forbidden.
Mayumi, a geisha, belongs to Ambrose's powerful Japanese trade partner.
In secret, their love flourishes, until they are betrayed on the very day they plan to escape together.
London, 1913 / 1998. Although separated by decades, the soul-mates seek each other...
Archibald, a tortured composer, seeks inspiration for his final symphony in opium's embrace-and finds his muse. She appears to him in two guises-a Japanese Geisha, and a dark-haired woman draped in blue.
Musician Jasmine, at the end of a European tour, takes a sightseeing trip on the Thames before she is to return home to her family in Australia. But something ties her to London. A promise of a music so beautiful she cannot resist calls to her from the mysterious waters of the river. In a coma in her hospital bed, Jasmine's sister Olivia desperately plays music to try to tempt her back to life, instead strengthening the bond between the lovers...
Paris, 2029. In a train station in Paris, two strangers feel an instant connection during a chance meeting, only to be separated by a misunderstanding.
Will the fated lovers find each again and complete the promise of love given so long ago?
Forbidden. Fated. Forever.
