Publisher Marketing: Judge Samuel Wilkins had been one of the youngest judges in New York City at the age of 38, now four years later he was just as popular as he was when he was first appointed. He was handsome beyond a woman's imagination yet he also had a down to earth quality. He had very strict rules in his courtroom, and he was very no nonsense about how things were handled. All of the attorneys knew not to mess with Samuel Wilkins. He was fair but you didn't want to cross him either. Grace Noll is a writer, who in her words currently writes only unpublished books. To pay the rent she was a freelance writer with Woman's Magazine. When they met by chance in an art gallery they both felt an immediate connection to the other. Grace was up front with Sam in admitting she was writing an article about him. Something he hated as he valued his privacy more than anything. Grace assured him that their meeting was not planned and she would only write from public information. Sam, normally very skeptical of people decided to give Grace a chance. Little did they know how quickly their relationship would grow, and how quickly it can unravel as well. Sam's sister Emma and her three children have been living with him since her divorce from Nathan Lawton. A man who caused the end of his own marriage with his lies, drugs, and booze. But when he comes back wanting another chance he seems like a changed man. Against Sam's advice Emma decides to give him that chance. It is a decision she will regret when Nathan returns to his old ways. Nathan's hatred for Sam comes to the surface. He blames Sam for his marriage to Emma ending instead of himself. It is because of this hatred that Nathan finds a way to make Sam suffer as Nathan feels he has suffered in the past because of Sam. Together Sam and Grace deal with love and misunderstanding, reunion and heartbreak, love and ethics.
