Toni Wakefield may be a talented artist, but past choices means this single mother never feels the equal of those around her—especially her brother's best friend, investment funds manager Matt Vandenberg. Matt long ago fell in love with his best friend's younger sister, and try as he might, he just can't fall out of it. And between his crazy working hours, and the fact she's now settled in beautiful Muskoka two hours away, they barely get a chance to see each other. How can he persuade her to consider to give him a chance, when she's sworn the only man she can care about is her baby boy?
