As boundaries shift, feelings long ignored rise to the surface, jeopardizing Nick's relationship with his girlfriend, his college education, and his future.

TWICE SHYFive years ago, Aaron Hammond's wife died in his arms and left him to raise their young daughter alone. Besieged by guilt and grief over her death, he has nearly given up hope of ever finding happiness again... until photographer Skye Hathaway shows up in Northstar. She isn't looking for love, however. She's on an extended vacation to put some time and distance between her and her soon-to-be ex-husband. Aaron's daughter, Jessie, decides to take matters into her own hands and forces Aaron and Skye to introduce themselves. The sparks fly, but only time will tell if Skye and Aaron will be able to move past their painful memories, and with Skye in Northstar for only a few weeks, time is something they don't have in abundance. ONCE BURNEDHenry Hammond's life is turned upside down when a paternity test reveals that his son isn't his. Heartbroken, Henry returns home to Northstar hoping to find a little perspective.

They agree to restrict their relationship to a one-night stand, but when Henry can't stop thinking about her, he heads to Lindsay's home in Washington to convince her there might be something between them worth fighting for. But Lindsay is wary from past mistakes with men. Is it really love Henry feels, or are she and her eight-year-old son nothing more than a rebound family for the embittered man?
