Nissa MacLean came to the aid of her good friend Louise Sinclair. She has asked her to help due to a sprained ankle, and an absent maid. While Nissa is scrubbing, Alexander Karagiannis, Louise’s brother, enters. He mistakes the writer for the maid, which amuses Nissa, and allows her a measure of relief. She is recently free of a relationship in which she was badly abused, and is not ready to give her heart to any man.

Alexander quickly realizes his mistake, and is deeply upset because Nissa impresses him more than he wishes to admit. Louisa informs him Nissa never dates, and doesn’t trust men. Not liking the mystery, Alexander is shocked by what he discovers. Her husband was not only cruel and abusive, but also accused of attempted murder, and committed suicide rather than stand trial. Alex has to go very slowly with this bruised, reclusive woman if he wants his dreams to come true.

Between Alex’s need to travel, and demands of his business, inevitable insecurities arise in Nissa. The need to hide a pregnancy causes some rocky edges, especially when she miscarries the babe. Now with a strange woman answering Alex’s phone, a newly pregnant Nissa is again wallowing in a world of hurt and misunderstanding...

This time, Alex’s sister steps in to see if she can help the two struggling overs pull themselves back together again. The question remains for Louise… can she get Nissa to see the light, to finally put her trust in Alexander?
