He needs a helping hand. She needs to rebuild her life after her divorce...
Emily's not above cleaning and cooking to put a roof over her son's head, but she doesn't expect the rancher who hires her to be so young...or so alluring. Emily's not interested in romance, though. Her failed marriage has left its scars. She's determined to support herself and her son, with no personal complications.
Love and a family are just not in the cards for Luke. Raising his sisters after mother's death and his father's illness was hard enough, but what if the gene is passed on to him? Better to just go it alone... Except he needs help and places an ad for a housekeeper. When Emily and Sam arrive on his doorstep, he soon discovers that the one thing he wants the most is the one thing he can't have...
