The timing couldn't have been worse. On the eve of his wedding to Andrea, Nicholas Leigh is called into service by his king. Imprisoned and taken captive while on his mission, Andrea is left to fend for herself and her child as she finds herself running the Leighaven estate. Being quite resourceful, Andrea has done wonders to restore the family coffers and is rather taken aback when Nicholas returns, finally freed from prison, and expects life to begin again just as he'd left it.
Nicholas and Andrea struggle to find love again as they shift the balance of their relationship and find a whole new outlook on life, love and family.
