Deciding she needed a break to think things through, she returns home to gather some of her belongings only to stumble into a situation that leaves her broken not only in spirit, but in body.

Carter soon shows Arizona that life can go on in spite of her struggle with her personal problems. Sparks fly, romance is thick in the air and soon she sees he is just who she wants, but can she let him in when her past is right around the corner?
