Synopsis

Two strangers. One bar. Bad timing? The night Maddie Cole and Nate Jacobs find themselves in the same place, at the same moment, with an hour to kill...a spark ignites. Engineer Maddie’s determination to conquer a male-dominated industry captivates Nate’s imagination, even as his steadfast loyalty starts a glow in Maddie’s heart. But with marriages and children in tow, anything more than friendship would mean social and emotional carnage. As Maddie and Nate’s paths continue to cross professionally, their affections blossom into a force that can’t be ignored. And one night, when nature conspires to force them together, their resolve unravels completely. The question is, will imploding their personal lives end in heartache, or a soulmate? This is the second iteration of Maddie and Nate’s love story, set in the midst of the 1970’s where the constraints of the era and their responsibilities change this love’s trajectory forever.
