Overwhelmed mother and property researcher Mitch Waterhouse, is assigned a resort project in Savannah, Georgia, far from her base in Atlanta. The distance from her daily grind is at first freeing, then dangerously seductive - just far enough from family responsibilities to rediscover her long neglected self... while jeopardizing everything of importance to her. Her local consultant's guidance is indispensable. He's also intelligent, good natured, and ruggedly handsome. So begins the slow slide to emotional entanglement Mitch hadn't expected.

Company owner Harry Jamison is determined to make this real estate development, The Caretta Lodge and Spa, his greatest yet.
