Blake Cameron and Jessica Daniels believe love is not for them, but over one magical summer, Fate has other ideas. Blake is a soldier discharged from duty with wounds and PTSD. Consumed by guilt because he could not save his best friend Matthew, killed before his eyes in heavy fighting, he is worn out by years of suffering and believes he serves no useful purpose in living. Fate brings him unexpectedly to an island paradise where he meets new people, and finds a new purpose to his life. However, when he finds himself attracted to a beautiful young woman with problems of her own, his first instinct is to leave, believing he is not ready to get involved with anyone. Jessica Daniels has devoted herself to caring for Faith, her sister’s orphaned four year old daughter who has not spoken since the accident which killed her parents and left her with minor wounds. When she was offered free accommodation and part time work on Catica Island, she happily took it, believing the island would be an ideal place for Faith to recover in tranquil surroundings. Finding love and happiness for herself is not something she considers, she has other, more important things on her mind. Will Fate keep bringing these two people together until they must face the reality of their attraction and find a way to acknowledge it to each other?
