Leaving an unsuccessful marriage behind her, Felicity Hunt, a hospital social worker, decided to have an easy, non-binding affair with Conrad Steele, a businessman from Alaska. They promised each other that their relationship would never be serious; they both had to go through too much in the past. However, they were not destined to keep their oath, although they both did not immediately admit it. Physical attraction, kinship of souls and common life goals gave them hope for a second chance to be happy.
