Henry Harris lived his dream as a fearsome Marine sergeant. When he is killed in battle, his devastated family receives another blow: it turns out he has a daughter they didn't know about.

Morgan Riley raises Etta on his own, and that was always enough until brother Henry, Trevor doesn't show up on her doorstep, ready to do anything to help and correct his brother's mistakes. Their attraction feels wrong, but Morgan seems unable to push it away.

Trevor is suddenly in deep. He always wanted to have his own family, but Etta and Morgan are having difficulties. But as Etta brings them closer together, Trevor begins to imagine giving Morgan and Etta the life his brother couldn't give them. But he wonders if Morgan could ever trust his heart to another man, especially one whose last name is Harris.
