Veronica Sterling, now in her early 40s, is at the top of her game - but her emotional life is barren. She receives legal documents revealing that an old lover used one of her frozen embryos to have a child, a teenage girl named Celeste Cruz Sterling. Celeste, now 15, is in need of a guardian after the sudden death of her adoptive father. Forced into motherhood overnight, Veronica must juggle this unexpected responsibility while fending off a corporate coup from a rival real estate empire. She hires a security expert, Anthony Vega, to protect Celeste after a break-in raises concerns of corporate espionage or worse. As Veronica learns to be a mother, Celeste helps thaw her ice-cold heart - and Veronica begins to realize that legacy isn't measured by wealth, but by the lives you touch.
