Coming home was supposed to make life easier for Nikki Clark, but on the first day of her new job her world is turned upside down when she comes face-to-face with Russ Preston, the former husband of her best friend in college. Nikki hoped to make a clean start after her divorce, but seeing Russ again after so many years brings back a lot of old memories.

Buying a charter boat helped Russ survive the years while his little girl, Libby, endured operations from a serious accident and his wife found solace in the arms of the child's doctor. Russ is unsure whether introducing someone new into Libby's life is a good idea, even an old friend like Nikki. Now Nikki must work with Russ every day as she schedules fishing charters for a coast hotel. Being constantly thrown together brings Nikki and Russ closer and they have to decide if it's worth risking their friendship for a chance at the sort of love that comes along once in a half moon.
