Love comes in its own time.

Emily is a freelance photographer hired to document handsome widower Brian’s vacation with his family. And while she finds him attractive, he obviously hates her. He snaps at her, tells her to stay away from his five-year-old son, and threatens to fire her. But appearances can be misleading, and guilt can make people do strange things.

Brian is still reeling from the untimely death of his beautiful wife, unable to accept that she is really gone. And now, the attraction that draws him to Emily feels wrong, like a betrayal. Pushing her away is his only defense.

Can Emily help Brian heal his shattered heart? Or will his inability to forgive himself destroy any chance he has for love?
