Sinopsis

Oxford University students, Syrian national Ali, a devout Muslim and English-borne Atheist Margaret, succumb to a passionate romance. Issues regarding religion and Ali's eventual return to Syria are dismissed as they realise a love live theirs only happens once in a lifetime, if ever. They vow to 'live for today', hoping the parting day never comes.
Through their joint detective work, they discover a connection with Pembroke and beautiful Barafundle Bay, which holds the secrets of Margaret's deceased mother's past. Which leads them to solve the mystery of Margaret's father, which has dogged her since childhood.
Margaret moves to Syria to be with Ali and her newfound father. Their lives are idyllic; they make new friends, and 'live for today' has a different meaning.
Then the Syrian Civil War erupts. Unlike most of their friends that flee from the war, Ali and Margaret decide to stay and help those in need. Margaret volunteers at the hospital and Ali joins the 'White Helmets'.
They witness the horrific destruction of Aleppo and the terrorising of trapped citizens during the indiscriminate bombing by its own government and allies. 'Live For Today' is all they can do.

    No, stop, you’re not supposed to like him. 
    All your life you’ve been told that you would marry Triton Amerson and that would be that. You don’t get a say on who or what you want to you. You’re the firstborn, the next in line of the throne, you’re the Alpha Princess of Wolves. 
    Stop thinking about how good he smells; the way his cheeks dimple when he smiles. 
    You resign yourself to a life of not wanting to get close to him. To give in means you’re accepting your fate. You push him into the arms of another. 
    The last thing you want to do is fall in love with him, but it’s happening. 
    Push and pull, you don’t know what to do with yourself as your feelings grow stronger. How are you supposed to cope with life when the one you’re falling for thinks you don’t want anything to do with him? There’s only one thing you can do, be the princess that you are, the Princess of Wolves.
