After losing her mother, an unexpected child at 17 and her boyfriend vanishing from her life, Cassia worked hard to sustain herself. With the help of her best friend - Foster Mathew - she builds her career and tries to give her little girl a good life. But then washed-up musician - Reed Mason moves to Beaufort, South Carolina in search of inspiration. A wisp of brown hair, a glimpse of blue eyes and a small misunderstanding leads him to his muse. But Cassia isn't ready to give love another try, not when she's trying her best to give her little girl all that life has to offer. But Reed won't take no for an answer when she's the only reason he's writing music again. And maybe there are more people to factor in. With so much more to lose this time around, can Cassia trust her heart to make the right decision?
