Sylvia Mathieson escorts a little girl to Germany to live with her uncle. The uncle, injured in a skiing accident, isn't at the airport to meet them. Instead, he sends his best buddy, handsome jet-jock, Eric Lind. Sylvia's contract is to deliver April to her uncle, not to some other man. Though hit by an immediate attraction she doesn't want, she must stay with little April until the uncle gets back. She can handle her emotions because as sexy and appealing as this guy is, he wears a uniform, a deal-breaker for Sylvia. Still, passion flares between them and will not be denied.
Eric knows Sylvia's the woman of his dreams, assuming he dared to dream of a permanent relationship, which he will not, because his jet-fighter father's death destroyed his mother and consequently his childhood. If she can't come to terms with her dislike of a rigid, by-the-numbers future, and he can't stop hearing the echoes of his mother's anguish, can there be any hope for these two star-crossed lovers?
