Teacher Catlin McCall has second thoughts about dating the father of a student, but listening to his sweet talk one night under the stars, she finds him hard to resist. They stumble into an impetuous, passionate relationship which leaves them breathless and his family less than thrilled. A not-quite-ex-wife who decides she wants her man back, combined with a pair of manipulative teenagers, make for more problems than either of them are prepared to deal with.

Like the old adage, no good deed goes unpunished, and Steve’s surprise backfires when the truth comes to light.

Dana Naughton returns home after college to teach at the local elementary school. She's not aware of the struggles her family is going through, but is glad to help however she can. She's also surprised to learn that Clint Stewart, her old high school sweetheart, is now working for her father. They immediately hit it off, and pick up where thing left off years ago. But Clint's a hot-blooded man, and Dana's a woman who's decided to practice abstinence before marriage. If they can get over that hurdle, they realize they can get through anything. Until tragedy strikes, and they're forced to face every family's worst nightmare. "If you need to assign blame, you might as well blame it on the moon."

Dave Naughton's laid-back attitude has cost him two sports writing jobs. Fear of commitment and uncertainty may cost him a whole lot more where his personal life is concerned. He's summoned home to face his father, the owner of the family business and the one man he really doesn't want to disappoint. Before the showdown gets underway, Steve Naughton collapses and is taken to the hospital with a serious and frightening ailment. Carys Connelly knows what she wants and goes after it. When the pretty nurse decides she wants Dave, he's not sure what to think. Taking matters into her own hands, she wrangles a job as his father's home health nurse to be closer to Dave. Will she have to whack him over the head before he realizes she might be the best thing that's ever happened to him? "Kiss me until I can't see straight. If we're tired tomorrow, we'll blame it on the sun."
