When Janet O'Grady's husband died unexpectedly, she found herself penniless, homeless, and the keeper of a dangerous secret. Determined to make a new life for herself and her six-year-old twin boys, she returns to her family home in Washington State. Jobs are scarce, and she jumps at the offer from banker Grant Brooks to live in his packrat grandfather's house in exchange for cleaning it out and getting it ready for sale. Janet's boys quickly fall in love with Grant, and Janet finds herself deeply attracted to him. But there's a problem. Grant is not at all available: he's engaged to Janet's sister. Janet persuades herself her infatuation will fade if she can just keep her distance from Grant. Unfortunately, only he can help her unravel the dangerous secret that threatens her life and her children's.
