Ophelia Carter has been working for the famous Richards family for almost four years. In that time they have begun to trust her and treat her as one of them. She loves her job and the family, which is why she keeps her love for the eldest son, Sullivan Richards, a secret.

There, Ophelia's carefully crafted facade starts to crack as old ghosts that she would rather keep hidden are cruelly exposed. Will the Richards family stand with her?
