Sharon is running from a home that hurts her, and a single reckless night with a mercenary named Sheldon leaves her pregnant and alone. When she goes to end the pregnancy, he shows up at the clinic with an offer instead: marry him, and he will give her and her younger sister Anne a roof, safety, and a name.
Inside Sheldon's house, Sharon learns that survival and love are not the same thing. She works to earn the trust of a man who keeps his feelings locked down, while Sheldon's brother Silas quietly falls for Anne. Between a jewelry store robbery that nearly kills them, prenatal classes, and the abuser who refuses to stay gone, both sisters have to decide whether this strange arrangement can become a real home — or whether the past will take it all back.
