When she was eight years old, Jessica Graham made three wishes: that she wouldn't always be the tallest kid in the class, that she would find a big conch shell on the beach, and that she would finally meet her father someday. Jessica's wishes never came true, but twenty years later, when she finds her mother's old love letters, she has a chance to make the third wish a reality.

Jessica travels to Florida to find her father but their reunion is interrupted by his arrogant junior business partner, Rocky Rycroft. Indignant, Jessica goes back to Texas, and is surprised when Rocky follows her home. He tells her it's because her father wants to learn more about her, but all of her friends insist his interest is more personal than that.

Jessica was looking for her father, not love. Could she now possibly have both?
