Hunky firefighter Teague O'Dell, grieving the death of his wife, has moved from L.A. to Siren Cove, Ore., to get a fresh start with his six-year-old daughter, Keely. Nina Hutton, his beautiful new neighbor, grew up in Siren Cove and makes a living selling her paintings. Neither of them is looking for a relationship: Nina is still aching from the death of her fianc , and Teague's first priority is raising Keely. The initial physical attraction between them evolves into mutual respect and desire as Nina's kindness toward the O'Dells reveals that her beauty is more than skin deep.
