When Sydney Wells, a workaholic lawyer and passionate children's advocate, meets John Appleton, a sexy widower with two young children, fireworks ensue. Thanks to a father who was thwarted in his desire for a son and named his fourth daughter after himself, Sydney has never thought of herself as womanly or sexy or even attractive. But from their first meeting, John recognizes the sexy woman beneath her severe clothing and practical shoes -- a woman he can't stop thinking about -- even though he knows nothing can ever come of the attraction he feels for her. Sydney, too, is more interested in John than she can admit -- even to herself. Despite their differences and all the obstacles in their path, their attraction grows and they can't seem to stay away from one another. Can this romance ever work? Can these two find a way to combine their two distinctly different lives? Or are John and Sydney destined to face heartbreak?
