He needs legal help after becoming guardian to his thirteen-year-old sister. Kailyn feels torn between lingering anger and sympathy for his situation. Her boss sees opportunity in this celebrity client. If Kailyn convinces Dax to join their firm, she gets promoted to partner. As Kailyn works with Dax and his sister, old feelings resurface. The three begin to feel like family. The chemistry that sparked years ago burns as strong as ever. But past wounds remain open.
