Lance starts to fall for Martee as she slowly changes his outlook on life. Meanwhile, Martee is falling for him since her heart has never opened up like this to anyone — especially after being abandoned by her son’s father. Finally, she learns to laugh and enjoy life again.
Lance decides to take a major step by toning down his lifestyle to assuage her fears and even seeks his family’s help to restore the resort to its former glory.
However, when Lance falters and reverts back to his old lifestyle, Martee must dig deep and decide if she truly loves him. She questions whether she can she live with such a volatile person? Will she put her son’s security on the line? This time, she must choose between love and family.
