Meeting a man on the one-year anniversary of her husband's death wasn't what Camilla expected out of her day. She is immediately intrigued by Nick, and she eagerly agrees to see him again. Meanwhile, Camilla and her younger sister, Jacqui, are shocked when their father informs them that he is moving out of state. He and Camilla have always been close, and this news shakes her lonely world. When Nick has prior obligations and grudgingly leaves for the weekend, Camilla is left busy helping her father pack his belongings for his impending move. All the while she's missing Nick more than she expected, and looks forward to Nick's nightly phone calls. He is caring, handsome, sweet and compassionate about Camilla's late husband. He is quickly filling the void of loneliness Camilla has been living with this past year.
Nicholas Ludlow has been in a dark and lonely place for too many years after leaving home. He is now nearly estranged from his family, and he works long hours to avoid the loneliness. Meeting Camilla is exactly what he didn't know he needed. When he returns from a long weekend, he and Camilla are thrilled to reunite. She quickly becomes the center of Nick's world, but he's been hiding something from her...
When Nick reveals that he's inherited a mess of sorts from his late father, Camilla learns that an old acquaintance of Nick's has stooped to dangerous levels to get to Nick and his family. Nick warns Camilla of the troubles and threats that he comes with, but she is unwilling to give Nick up or leave him to face the danger on his own.
As Nick's worst fear comes true, danger inevitably catches up with the love of his life, causing him to second guess everything. He sees no end to this mess. He wants Camilla, but is loving her and having her at his side worth the risk, or is she better off without him in her life?
