In Tennessee, fifty-two year old Rory O'Fallon knows the moment he sees the infant on his porch that he sired her; he also believes the mother, whom he loves, is in trouble, for that is the only reason she would abandon her daughter Bonnie like this. Finally Rory realizes that he cannot help his beloved Mimi DuPont without help. To do this he asks his sons to come home to O'Fallon's Landing, Tennessee on the Mississippi.

Soap opera fans love newest hunk Keefe O'Fallon, but the media is driving him crazy, following his every move as if he was important. When his dad asks him to come home to help find Bonnie's mother, he leaves the Big Apple for two reasons. First, his father asked him to, which to Keefe is important. Second, he can escape the press feeding frenzy, even for a few days of rural relief. However, he finds himself immediately attracted to Bonnie's nanny Callie. She reciprocates. However, she fears that once he learns what she does for a living, their relationship will go kaput before it begins. Callie failed to inform Rory that her real reason for being here is an interview with his hunk of a son for Soap Scoops magazine, that will in turn pay for her sister's education.

The second O'Fallon sibling tale (see 'TIL THERE WAS U) is a fun contemporary romance starring two likable "star-crossed" protagonists, a tabloid journalist and the actor. The storyline is lighthearted fun, as the lead couple falls in love, forcing Callie to decide between career and Keefe. Though the Mimi mystery was not moved forward that much, fans will enjoy this fine caper and look forward to the third sibling's tale.
