Raegan Reed is a young, charming and ambitious doctor with a heart in the right place. She would do the possible and the impossible for her patients, although she herself knows that even science is useless in many things. She has no time for lasting relationships or casual dating until Erick Peterson, the man she has secretly loved ever since she began to be attracted to men, gets in her way. Erick is still an attractive and charming man after all these years, and an old love reawakens in Raegan. However, there is one catch. Erick is a taboo for their family and the sins of the past begin to surface again. They stir the surface and a carousel of lies, obfuscation or hiding begins, which is beyond her strength for the fragile Raegan. Will she withstand the circus and the choice between the family she loves above all else and the man who can't let her sleep?
