Skylar Adair, a 29 year old investment analysist with fiery red hair, is the daughter of a red- haired mother and a dad who is a General in the military. The absolute reason she is strong minded and independent. Starting her morning off early by returning some items at the mall, then being bumped by a handsome, blond haired male behind her in line, with his sleazy looking girlfriend. Their eyes briefly meeting, but long enough to cause Skylar to take a deep breath hoping her day will come when she will be accompanied by someone with those same penetrating dark blue eyes.
Then again running into the same male, Preston Clark that day; where she was delivering a contract for her three bosses. Only this time, he was at his worksite and without the girlfriend who was glued to him that morning. Their brief meeting, twice in one day, ended up with their first date, a casual Bar-b-que per her request. Not comfortable with dating a total stranger and wanting an easy out, if needed. Their first date, however, was fantastic with Skylar thrilled at what she was feeling and Preston, terrified since he was not interested in falling in love and was afraid love was entering his heart.
Skylar’s life in turmoil due to Preston’s over eagerness to have Skylar as part of his life and then his sudden withdrawal. With Skylar depending on her two best friends, Lindsay and Megan, to console her along with her best male friend, Quinn, neighbors from their birth, who also had fiery red hair and now a brilliant attorney. Everyone, including Skylar and Quinn, believing they were brother and sister, rather than just neighbors growing up.
The two eventually figuring out a way to take the passion they had for each other from friends to agreeing they wanted to be a couple to being a couple and then the commitment to wanting to get married and then getting married. All under the umbrella of life, which included each family having a sad and heart wrenching story that needed to be told.
