Billionaire chemist Max Varela is selling his company and leaving New
York for good when Emily Wade bursts into his office, desperate for his
help in funding her program for disadvantaged kids and shelter dogs.
Seven years ago, he fell in love with her when she was married to
another man. To fight the unbidden attraction, he cut off all
contact--but he's never forgotten her.
Ever since her husband died, Emily has poured her heart and soul into
the after-school care center. Seeing Max reawakens the pain of her loss,
but it also brings unexpected hope for the future. As emotions thought
long gone resurface, the two begin a passionate affair that seems
destined for a fairy-tale ending.
That is, until Max reveals that he's moving to Chicago in a matter of
weeks and wants Emily to uproot her daughter and her life to come with
him. If a second chance at love is possible, someone's got to give.
