Thomas will do anything for his daughters. That includes the hard work of rebuilding their lives after his wife's tragic death a year ago. But unrelenting grief and fear of suffering another loss keeps him from moving forward and embracing the possibility of love again. Jennifer takes nothing for granted. She knows to get ahead at work; she has to work harder than everyone else and remain focused. Focusing would be a lot easier if Thomas wasn't so irresistible, and her overprotective father wasn't so disapproving of the romance.
