The one thing she doesn't have is a significant other, a partner to help her raise her son, Petey, someone to love her through thick and thin. Loneliness is often her companion, but she's resigned herself to that and learned to be thankful for the life she and Petey have carved out in their little corner of the Appalachian foothills. While on vacation, she walks onto a Carolina beach and meets sinfully sexy businessman Levi Ewart. He's thoughtful and kind and one of the most handsome men she's ever met. The problem is he's also entirely too young for her, and so far above her in every way possible, her head spins. What can a man like that possibly see in little ol' her?
