Samantha Brody is just trying to keep her head above water, working as a waitress, helping her aunt with the bills, and helping take care of her much younger sister. The small Colorado town doesn’t have many opportunities, and she doesn’t expect much out of life. She certainly doesn’t expect to find herself face to face with Jordan Forrester, a man more of a town legend than a real person. Photographer Jordan Forrester is the eldest child of the Forrester clan, the wealthiest people in town. Jordan, considered the black sheep because he won’t join the family business, enjoys his family but needs some distance. The new cabin he built in his hometown to use when he visits them is just what he needs. On a cold, snowy night, Jordan, driving home in the snow, loses control of his truck, slamming his vehicle into that of a broken-down car. He finds Samantha passed out in the snow. With no other option, he takes her home. Little does he know that the small-town waitress will forever alter the course of his life.
