Since the death of her husband, hard-headed businesswoman and millionaire property developer Helen Walker is used to getting her own way: ruling the roost, calling the shots, and securing big deals. However, six months after hiring and quickly falling for handsome designer/builder Peter, some sixteen years her junior, their relationship is about to bear fruit of a very different kind!
