"Caitlin McBride, an American shoe designer, has returned to the town of Tenby, Wales with her teenaged daughter Mary in order to get her chaotic life in order. For several years Caitlin has been unhappily married to David, a habitual philanderer who humiliated Caitlin with his numerous affairs, his excessive drinking and his inability to become aroused by Caitlin. Although Caitlin knows in her heart that the marriage is over, she has delayed finalizing a divorce due to Mary's emotional turmoil over her parents' separation. On the first day Caitlin is back in Wales she runs into Trevor Morgan, a boy she fell in love with as a teenager nineteen years earlier. Although Trevor had always dreamed of making a life for himself in London, he is running the family's bar/restaurant, the White Knight in Tenby. Trevor has also been struck by tragedy when his young wife Gwen died during a surgical procedure. It isn't long before sparks are flying between Caitlin and Trevor. Trevor has fallen in love with Caitlin all over again, only now he has to convince her to give love a try the second time around. "
