Avery Morgan left home years ago against her parents' advice. She married a man they didn't approve of thinking he was the man of her dreams. She finally escaped her marriage, while eight months pregnant and desperate. Five years later, Avery barely survives by working multiple jobs to support herself and her son. Miles Morrison built his very successful business from nothing despite a childhood family life disrupted by addiction. He hasn't exactly avoided relationships, but he has been too busy to pursue anything serious. As an adult, his close friendship with his next-door neighbors has given him a greater appreciation for family. Miles was content with the life and business he created for himself. Miles cannot understand why a daughter would cut her family off. Things get interesting when an emergency befalls her parents and Avery is forced to return to her small hometown. She is greeted by Miles who gives her a piece of his mind on how to treat her family. Things get complicated when Miles learns what he must do to avoid losing his business and Avery finds herself at loose ends. She has no job to return to in the city and no real commitment there, so who can blame her when Miles offers her a deal she can't refuse and what if it involves a little white lie?
