When her father's heart problems sideline him, Shae Harriman agrees to oversee Sullivan's Creek, the largest residential building project the company has ever tackled. Though she has the education, her lack of management or supervisory experience alienates her crews. Megastar singer Ned Collier undertook Sullivan's Creek to get his mother into safer housing while he is on the road. But he's running out of money and doesn't want her, or anyone else, to know. To Shae's consternation, he insists on serving as project manager to control costs. Their inexperience, pitted against her desire to succeed, his penny-pinching, and high stakes construction issues propel them into each other's arms. Can they build a life, as well as housing, together?
