Abigail is living on a farm raising her two sons the best way she can and holds on to her pride. She needs the money so she signs a contract with a writer and journalist Dylan to write the story of her ex-husband who is a famous race car driver who is deceased. The writer thinks she is this rich woman and cannot image why she is living on this farm doing manual labor and cleaning houses on the side and mucking stalls.

Dylan Crosby started out as a journalist, but now writes biographies. When he decides to write the biography of the late Chuck Rockwell, race car driver, he has ideas about Chuck's widow and the life she's been leading since his death. Dylan couldn't be more wrong about Abby O'Hurley. Living on a farm, raising horses and her two sons, Abby has been on her own for a long time. When she agrees to consult with Dylan about the book, she knows that she's going to have to unveil some nightmares from her past, but she thinks she can control what Dylan gets out of her.

From the beginning Dylan is drawn to Abby, but can't quite reconcile the reality with the image he was expecting. Falling in love with her kids is easy, falling in love with Abby, even though he knows she's lying about her past, makes Dylan reconsider everything he thought he knew.
