Single mom Lynn Morrow is determined to put food on the table for her son and daughter. Her soon-to-be-ex-husband has failed to meet his obligations time and again—but it turns out that Ed is struggling with his own demons. Enter contractor Mitch Franklin, an unlikely knight in shining armor. A widower with two grieving sons, Mitch once admired Lynn from afar. Now he sees in her not only the sweet girl who got away but also a woman desperately in need of support. While rushing to the rescue of Lynn and her children comes naturally to him, he's also wise enough to encourage her to find her own way... hopefully straight into his arms.
