Surgeon Ben Blayden is called to the exotic island of Kapua to provide medical assistance. He is stunned to find the island's doctor is Lily Cyprano, the girl he loved at medical school - and that she has a seven year old son - his son - Benjy. Ben has travelled the world, avoiding emotional ties. Now he finds himself with a ready-made family. Having rescued Lily and their son from a crisis in Kapua, Ben sends them to recover at his ranch in Australia. But will the lure of his rekindled feelings for Lily and the charm of his new-found son give him the courage to join them, and claim the loving family he needs?
