Nya Gamden is thrilled to be accepted into the nursing program at Old Dominion University and, as an added bonus to good fortune, computer engineer Tory Sothers has stepped into her life, becoming the man of her dreams. Life is all that she'd imagined—love, happiness, and a budding career—until Tory asks her to give up her hopes and dreams for matrimony.
Leaving her heart, and Tory, on the white sandy beaches of Hawaii, Nya is shattered and time is the only remedy that can heal her heart, as well as a new man. Darren Edmonds, a pillar of the community and well-respected businessman, wins Nya's trust and love, takes her on a whirlwind romance, and gives her the ultimate gift. However, Darren is keeping a secret and Nya's curiosity gets the best of her.
