Will she be able to take care of this innocent soul while this man keeps her distracted from her past life？

Galvan Wetherbee knows how life can chew and spit a person out， but he’s worked hard for his security and reputation as a private detective in New York。 While he’s trying to help his father with his debt， an opportunity comes along that he just cannot miss。 When a wealthy family approaches him about finding their wayward daughter and bringing her back home for her impending engagement， he’s sure the payout will do justice to his choice。 Abby is nothing like the picture her father painted of her though， and the little boy makes it even harder for Galvan to remain as objective as he needs to be。

Can he ignore the stirrings of his heart and complete the job like he’s supposed to， or will Abby’s struggle and kind heart break him？

Despite how destined their pairing seems， there are forces set on seeing them down a different path。 How can Galvan ever choose between his own father and the new family he has come to love？ When the truth comes out， will their new love be enough to weather the storm， or will they be torn apart by it all？
