Captain Lance Westwood has always lived by the code of the military-discipline, strength, and control. At 32, he is an accomplished army officer and a successful businessman. His life has been a series of calculated moves, shaped by the harsh realities of war and the weight of responsibility. But everything changes when Lance is unexpectedly thrust into the role of a father to his young daughter, Mira, after her mother's sudden passing.

His world is turned upside down once again when he meets Elara Quinn, Mira's compassionate and kind-hearted class teacher.
