As her best friend prepares to get married, Amber finds herself facing her own changes - including a new job, an opportunity to help a little girl, and the chance to finish her college degree.

Caleb has struggled to move on from the guilt he felt since his best friend was killed on the job. Caleb did everything he could to help his friend's widow and two daughters, but he never felt like it was enough. When Becky encourages him to move on with his life, he's both hurt that she doesn't want him around and curious about what else is out there.

When Caleb and Amber come together sparks fly. Amber knows she shouldn't get involved with him, but she can't help wanting him. Caleb knows she'll leave as soon as she finds out about his past. Together they have to decide what's more fun... taking chances with life and love or playing by the rules.
