Jacob Green decides where he should travel to next by a roll of the dice. He's been handing his life over to destiny for nearly five years now and has no intention of stopping. She's likes to be in control. Oliva Jackson wants to control everything. Living life as one big to-do list, her whole world is a series of predetermined steps to success. But after her sister tragically dies Olivia throws caution to the wind and goes travelling (albeit with a meticulously organised itinerary). Do opposites really attract What Olivia doesn't plan for, however, is meeting Jacob. At first, he is infuriating. Then, to her surprise, she finds herself wishing that the only plan she cares about is when they'll meet again. But unfortunately for Olivia, the only plan Jacob is willing to make is to throw the dice and let destiny decide. As they part ways to go on their separate journeys, two questions remain...will they ever meet again And, when it comes to love...should matters of the heart really be left to fate
