Hiding away in a tiny Yorkshire village, Harriet is grieving for her lost love. His family won't talk to her and she can't move on from from his death. All this changes when his daughter, Niamh, turns up on her doorstep, needing a sympathetic ear.

Tim thinks Harriet broke up his sister's marriage all those years ago. His sister's enemies are his enemies. When his niece runs away to Harriet's house, he knows he has to get her back before his sister finds out. But that means talking with Harriet.

As they work together to console Niamh and get her home safely, Tim and Harriet become increasingly attracted to each other.

But with attraction comes guilt.

Can they overcome their respective loyalties and give in to love?
