Over eight years ago Jessica Adams spent four glorious days with the man of her dreams, Daniel Spencer, before he cruelly disappeared from her life. Now Jessica is mom to a wonderful eight year old boy, Jonathan, and working hard to hold on to her grandfather's company, Lawrence Construction, so that her son can run it one day.

Daniel Spencer walked away from Jessica eight years ago out of a blind sense of duty to his family, never realising what he was letting go until it was too late. Now an extremely successful businessman, his eye is on his next promotion. All he needs to acquire is the Lawrence Construction firm, which shouldn't be a problem.

When Jessica and Daniel come face to face, their physical attraction to each other is still very much alive. But when Daniel unexpectedly meets Jonathan, Jessica's son, he suddenly realises he missed out on a lot more than just a relationship with Jessica, he has missed out on his son. As they try get to know each other again, Daniel tries hard to become close with Jonathan, who is eager to have his dad around. And a deep love, that has stayed dormant for years, flares back to life between Daniel and Jessica. But with Daniel working for the enemy who is trying to take her company, and a career that will always take him away from them, can Jessica trust her heart and her little boy's love into Daniel's care? As Daniel struggles with his own fears and vulnerabilities, will he leave Jessica and Jonathan behind him once again?
