Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:When a high-powered gallery owner collides with a wildly offbeat artist, it??s the perfect recipe for disaster. But in her 63rd bestselling novel, Danielle Steel proves that when two hopelessly mismatched people share a love for art, a passion for each other, and a city like Paris, nothing is truly impossible?or is it?

Everything Sasha does is within the boundaries of tradition. Liam is sockless in December. Sasha is widowed, a woman who knows she was lucky enough to be married to the most wonderful man in the world and thankful for every moment they had. Liam is half in and half out of a marriage that only a ??wacky? artist could manage, and that his own impossibly impulsive behavior has helped tear apart. But while Sasha has been methodically building her father??s Parisian art gallery into an intercontinental success story, Liam has been growing into one of the most original and striking young painters of his time. So while the two are utterly unalike??and a nine-year age difference stares them squarely in the face??the miracle of art brings them crashing together. Now the question is, can Sasha guard her reputation while juggling a secret, somewhat scandalous relationship? And how can Liam, who lives for the moment, put up with a woman who insists on having things her own way, in her own style, and at her own time?

For Sasha, it??s a matter of keeping Liam hidden from her grown children and well-heeled clientele as she commutes between New York and Paris and two thriving galleries. For Liam, it??s about creating chaos out of order, bringing out the wild streak that Sasha barely knows she has, of choosing pizza over foie gras, and making love when others are busy making money. That is, until a family tragedy suddenly alters Liam??s life??and forces a choice and a sacrifice that neither one of them could have expected. But from the snow falling on the Tuileries to the joy of eating ice cream by candlelight, the artist and the art dealer have tasted perfection. And giving up now might just be the most impossible thing of all.

With unerring insight into the hearts of men and women?? and into the soul of the artist ??Danielle Steel takes us into a world of glamour and genius, priceless art and dazzling creativity. From the luxurious galleries of Europe to the endless beaches of the Hamptons, ImPossible weaves an extraordinary tale of love and compromise, of taking chances and counting blessings. With brilliant color and breathtaking emotion, Danielle Steel has wri

This is not one of her better efforts. Sasha is one of Steel's rich beautiful people. She and Liam, a 'wacky artist' fall passionately in love. She should know better. In fact she does, but lets her passion get away with her.

He is a real brat (greatly damaged by his terrible childhood!), totally irresponsible and I can't imagine why she gives him a first chance, never mind a second, and a third... ( )

Epigraph
What does that mean-"tame"? It is an act too often neglected . . . It means to establish ties. To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you on your part have no need of me . . . But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . . If you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know that sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow . . . Think how wonderful that will be when you have tame me! . . . Please-tame me! One only understands the things one tame . . . there is no shop anywhere where you can buy friendship . . . If you want a friend, tame me . . . What must I do to tame you? You must be very patient . . . first you will sit down at a little distance from me -like that- in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me every day . . . As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one . . . But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
if you tame me and i tame you, you will not lose your wild and wonderful, your freedom or the air you breathe, not lost but found, once tamed and joined together silently, you will find me, and i will at last have found you. d.s
Dedication
To my exceptionally wonderful, loving children, Beatrix, Trevor, Todd, Nick, Samantha, Victoria, Vanessa, Maxx & Zara, who not only make my life possible, but joyful, happy, and loving in every way. How blessed and fortunate I am to have you, with all your laughter, love and tender moments that we share so abundantly. I celebrate you, I thank you, I appreciate you more than I can ever say. May you be as blessed as I am, with children like you one day. with all my love, Mom
