Despite the issues keeping them apart, Kate and James cannot stay away from each other. Drawn together by fate and bound by passion, they are constantly reminded of the heavy price they will pay if their relationship is discovered. James struggles to hold on to the life he's worked so hard for while Kate builds her future using her knowledge of food chemistry to open a bakery.
