Facing a particularly crucial crossroads involving a lucrative merger for his family's tech company, Noah decides to hire a live-in nanny to care for his precious Charlie-Bear during the daytime hours. Imagine his surprise when a lovely young woman knocks on his door.
Delaney Wright is determined to make a life for herself without the help of her family or their money. Upon arrival in a quaint coastal Virginia community, she seeks employment based on her vast experience as a nanny. After being summarily dismissed from the Aylett estate, Delaney is plagued with doubts about her decision to leave home, when a chance encounter in a local park brings her back to the attention of Noah Aylett.
