Up-and-coming jewelry designer Morna finds herself rattled at an event when she feels the burning gaze of businessman Hawke settle upon her. She can tell that Hawke is cut from the same cloth as her previous lover, a man who caused her nothing but pain. Hawke is here because he wants to develop a resort, and he’s obviously only interested in Morna for the land she’s been bequeathed by an old friend. She keeps telling herself that she has to keep it together, but that just ends up bringing her even closer to Hawke!
