Callie Burke is struggling to survive financially and professionally as an Art Conservationist. When she's offered a very lucrative job restoring a painting for wealthy business man Jack Walker, she isn't sure she wants to do it. Jack represents everything Callie has sworn to avoid in life, and her fear of an emotional commitment only complicates matters when she realizes she's immediately attracted to Jack. Still, she takes the job and moves into Jack's Boston home to do the restoration on the portrait, all the while determined to ignore her growing feelings for her 'employer'. After having seen her only once, and now hiring her for the restoration job, Jack wants Callie --- desperately --- and is very determined to convince her they belong together. Presently engaged to another woman, Jack realizes he's falling in love with Callie and breaks off his engagement, then puts all his efforts and feelings into capturing Callie's heart. Together they find a way to work through all the obstacles keeping them apart, and learn to trust in what their hearts are telling them: their love is solid and enduring. | ||
