Elle Sanders has spent years trying to make something of herself, trying to become someone who can make a difference in the world. There was nothing that could get in the way of her succeeding in her passion as a lawyer, with the motivation that a case wasn't over until she had won. Dates are few and far between, she wants someone who can not only handle her headstrong attitude, but give her a challenge back. Adrian Wolfe, an international businessman, returns to Northlyn Hills after spending a year in London, only to find himself face to face with Elle, the woman who had broken his heart five years earlier and spent far too long getting over. Deep down, he would do anything for anyone but hides it behind his hard exterior. Elle is convinced that she holds nothing for him, after all, she tells everyone she hates him. But when life forces them together, they can only hope that things don't turn out as bad the second time around and pray that if all falls into place.
