Niki Ashton was what some guys consider old fashioned, which was at odds with her beauty. It wasn't that she wasn't interested in having a relationship. Niki had her sights set on a man who was quite out of reach. Blair Coleman was a good friend and contemporary of Niki's father, Todd. Niki was smart enough to know Blair wasn't going to return her feelings -- he considered himself too old -- and a family friend to boot. But somehow Niki's heart just wasn't getting that message.
In all fairness, Niki and Blair have shared many close personal moments that has broadened their special relationship. But Blair couldn't get past what he considers inappropriate. Sure, he loved Niki but how could he be in love with this woman so many years his junior. And he fights that attraction tooth and nail.
Niki is determined to get beyond this unsettling and unsatisfying attraction to Blair when she finally seems to realize the futility of her crush. As much as she would like to pursue a mutually affectionate relationship with this man, in the end Niki is a realist.
But some things are too big to fight, and this friendship between Blair and Niki has all the earmarks of love. Will Blair relent and let his heart guide him, or will his head rule his passion?
