Timmie O is a self-made fashion legend who runs a hugely successful business empire. But while her career is a brilliant success, she has trouble connecting with others after a devastating loss and a marriage that fell apart. The men she dates are beautiful and charming, but none of her relationships are meaningful. All of that changes when a surprise bout with appendicitis puts her under the care of French doctor Jean-Charles Vernier. With him, Timmie feels almost immediate sparks - something she no longer thought was possible. The only problem is that he's still married to someone else."@en
