Since their marriage ten years earlier, Ayla Cruz and Bailey Morrow have built an incredible life together. After Ayla chose journalism over music, she became one of the country’s most respected investigative reporters.

Ayla Cruz longs for stardom. Years of playing in front of the guests at Cool Beans beside her boyfriend and songwriting partner Bailey prepared her for the ultimate opportunity: a chance to perform in front of pop superstar Fasa.

Sandra and Charles Durro defied the odds and found love a second time. Together, they’re raising their high schooler Ayla and enjoying part time duties with their grandson Michael.

News of her son’s tragic death ushered in the worst moments of Sandra Cruz’s life. After his father abandoned them, Sandra alone had raised Preston into the man he became.

Life is unpredictable. Sandra Cruz never imagined she’d once again go by the name Sandra Durro. Until now! Newlyweds Sandra and Charles head out for a much needed—and much deserved—romantic honeymoon on the island where Sandra and her sister Victoria vacationed in their youth.

Enduring the turmoil after her son Preston’s passing prompts Sandra Cruz to evaluate her life. Although she’s loved building Cruz Development into one of Florida’s most successful businesses, she decides that time spent in her office has pulled her away from what truly matters: family.
