Military strategist, Nash Broderick, harbors the dream of coming home to Calypso Station to resume the legacy passed to him by his father but Danielle is there with her son. He'd been in officer training a matter of weeks when he got the news Danielle was pregnant to another man. He's found excuses for years not to return but now his beloved grandmother has had a heart attack and time is running out. If he doesn't come home, he could lose everything. Without a Broderick working Calypso, his father's trustees can redistribute the land amongst the extended family and Nash will have no claim on his birthright.

Danielle Tillson has grown into her role as a hard working single mother. She tried to forget Nash after he refused to acknowledge the child they created. Now he's back, and she must protect her son even from the father who denies any parental responsibility. Her son will never know the abandonment she endured - first by her mother, later her father, and then Nash. Her child's security depends on her work and their home on Calypso Station. If Nash returns permanently, the refuge she has built will disappear.

When Nash is confronted by another betrayal, this time by those he thought he could count on till death, he finds he must unravel the secrets of the past. Only when the truth is revealed, can he plan a way back to Danielle, to rebuild the dreams of their youth and a life for their family. After everything he's put her through, why would she give him a second chance?
