Shy, timid Kat has difficulty reaching out to people, but when she's badly injured she turns to Doctor Jack Richardson for help, even though it means he'll find out about her deepest secret. It seems the blossoming romance between the new neighbours will be over, unless Jack can put aside his feelings about his alarming discovery and reach out to the pretty woman who has brought some fun to his well-ordered life. Can Jack ignore what he has learned and can Kat begin to trust other people, especially when events threaten to expose her to the wider world?
