Cathy is on her way to a job interview that she hopes will result in the start of a new life and independence from her controlling brother. But, being late and new to Seattle, she becomes flustered and crashes her car into a van driven by Mick Vandenholt. Shaken, she continues on to her interview, promising Mick that she’ll return to the scene of the crime.

When she blows the interview, Cathy is devastated and worries that she’s lost her shot at her big break. When a case of mistaken identity casts Cathy in the role of Mick’s girlfriend, Cathy finds herself unable (or perhaps, unwilling) to set the record straight. Mick has secrets of his own, yet Cathy is attracted to him more than she wants to admit.

Torn between Mick, her brother, and her own fears, Cathy’s trip to Seattle catapults her into a series of events that will change her life, but exactly how much is up to her.
