Cara Moncure's son, Norman, wants to marry Greg Fletcher's daughter, Stephanie. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem except that Bad Boy Fletch has been a nuisance for Cara since high school.
A widow, Cara owns a successful accounting and estate planning business and enjoys living a care-free life in the small town of Branchton, Virginia. She has also been withholding a dark secret that shattered her life ten years ago.
Greg plays third base for the New England Reds but is seriously considering retirement and assuming control of his father's construction business. Divorced, he has raised his daughter with the help of his mother and Cara who, through their children's friendship has frequently been Stephanie's substitute mother.
What should be a simple merging of families becomes a battle of wills and clash of personalities as Cara and Greg are thrown together for the wedding planning. Suddenly repressed emotions are forced to deal with friendly banter.
Can they come to a truce with their feelings for the sake of their two children?
Can Greg break through Cara's walls of resistance and help her overcome awakened nightmares from her past?
