Mark has been raising his niece since she was a small child. Abandoning his own life in the big city, he settles in a small town and devotes himself to Jenny. When Mark�s sister dies in an accident, Mark is given full custody of his precocious twelve-year-old niece. Just when he thinks the worst is over, he finds out that his sister left instructions to contact Jenny�s father, a man she had always refused to name.
Mark is terrified that Jenny�s father will try to take Jenny away from him but Cole Waters is not anything like he expects at all.
