When Lucy Griffin inherits a crumbling estate from Archie Templeton the town whispers that she must have been his mistress. Being in charge of the local orphanage, she has spent her life caring for forgotten children, never seeking anything for herself. Now she has the chance to transform the manor into a true home, but she'll need help from the handsome stranger who arrives at her door…

Jesse Holden makes his living uncovering secrets, and he's been hired to dig up dirt on Lucy and destroy her claim to the fortune. Getting close to her should be simple, but as he helps with renovations and a baby abandoned on her doorstep, he watches her tend to the child with such tenderness that everything changes. Can he complete his job when he's falling for the woman he's meant to ruin?

Lucy dares to hope for a bright future, while Jesse realizes she's the home he's been searching for, though his employer grows impatient. But the town mayor has his own plans for Lucy and her fortune. When she discovers the truth about Jesse’s arrival, will their love survive the betrayal?
