After five years, Jenna Reeves was still haunted by the tragedy of her husband's death. As a journalist in Cape Town, she worked long hours and pushed herself to the limit. Forced, eventually, to take a break, she finds herself staying in her aunt's cottage on a wine farm and very quickly makes the acquaintance of the owner, Robert Rousseau. The attraction between them is instantaneous and powerful, and no matter how much they try, they can't seem to stay away from each other. The relationship between them does not run smoothly, mainly because Jenna cannot conform to Robert's preference for a relationship without ties. They finally walk away from each other, but fate brings them back together again when Jenna is assigned the task of interviewing Robert, and the attraction between them flares up stronger than before. It finally takes another tragedy to shake the foundations of their world.
