Paralegal Trinity Sylinda has had a string of failed relationships and is desperate to find true love. But until that happens, she stays very busy juggling cases and legal files. When a colleague asks her to check on an ex-con who served eighteen years in prison for a murder he did not commit, Trinity is naturally nervous, but agrees to pay him a visit to ensure he's adequately adjusting to life back in the real world and not focusing on his previous mistakes.

Released from prison over three years ago, Jack Julian has somehow managed to rebuild his life with help from his adult daughter, Alice. He's understandably angry about the years he has already lost and it's Trinity's job to assess his mental health. When they meet, she realizes Jack is still holding onto guilt over the past and resentful of her presence, but the chemistry they share is obvious. When they eventually fall in love, a frightening health diagnosis sends their relationship into chaos and leaves the happily-ever-after they both imagined hanging perilously in the balance.

In this poignant tale, the lives of a well-respected paralegal and wrongly imprisoned ex-con intertwine and transport them down a path that will either lead to happiness or shattered hearts.
