"Though I wish he were here instead."

Billie and Jesse had a blissful life with their ten-month-old daughter, Madelyn, and another baby on the way. Everything seemed perfect until a devastating accident shattered their happiness during a vacation in the Maldives. Billie was saved by Steve, Steve Lacy, a kind stranger, but Jesse disappeared without a trace.

Ever since that fateful day, Billie's life has been turned upside down. She yearns for him every day, hoping against hope that he is still alive. The police are still conducting their investigation, but they have no leads. Steve, who has developed feelings for her, doesn't care that she is pregnant with another man's child. He treats her with compassion and generosity, and she grows fond of him. But deep in her heart, she wishes Jesse was by her side, not Steve. He may be a sweetheart, a rare find, but Billie doesn't love him as much as she loves Jesse.
