Single Dad of Seattle Mason Whitfield made some big changes in his life five years ago, starting with quitting his Fortune 500 job and moving away. Now he's back in Seattle, he bought a bar, and is finally a father—life is good. But when a beautiful mystery woman keeps coming to his bar interviewing men night after night, Mason's curiosity is piqued and he just has to know more.

Five years ago, cancer nearly killed Lowenna Chambers. Then her husband left her—for her sister. Now in remission, she just opened up her own chocolate shop and is determined to live the best life possible. Until she's asked to do the impossible: design an enormous chocolate centerpiece and give a speech for her sister and ex-husband's wedding, on Valentine's day. A perfect opportunity to show them she's moved on. But first, she needs a date. A drool-worthy hunk who will steal the show.

Cue Mason, who is tall, dark, dangerous, and with two sleeves of tattoos to boot. But as the wedding approaches it's no longer a simple business arrangement between Mason and Lowenna. She likes him and he wants her, but love is never that simple and a future together begins to look unattainable. Can Lowenna get over her pain and heartache and spend Valentine's with the single dad, or will she let yesterday haunt her today, ruining any chance of a beautiful tomorrow?
