Ever since her parents died, Bridget Thatcher has been left destitute and determined that she will never find happiness in her life. Having been left with no choice, she becomes a governess to earn her living. Fortune smiles on her, though, when she is assigned to a little girl that quickly warms her broken heart. Life takes a terrible turn when the child's parents die, and she is tasked with bringing the girl to her new and mysterious guardian.

Will she manage to protect the lonely child and win a place to her charming guardian's heart? Would life finally hand her a happy ending?

It doesn't seem his life could get any more complicated until a strange woman appears on his doorstep with the orphan that has been left in his custody.

In the end, will he follow his heart and make his dreams come true?

Though the timing is all wrong, Bridget and John cannot turn their back to their growing affection. However, Bridget carries the guilt of a secret that could rip all her happy dreams, if ever discovered. Will John and Bridget claim each other's heart before the last rose petal of their love falls? Will they become the parent figures that the lovely girl deserves and heal her broken heart?
