Jonathan Denson isn't what you'd call the life of the party but when he enters a room, he commands attention. The only problem is, the attention he craves isn't the attention he's getting. It's just too bad that the only person he ever truly wanted isn't ready for what he has to offer. Left with no other option, John decides that he's sick of leaving romance up to fate and takes his love life into his own hands.

Life is hard. James knows this for a fact in which she picked a bad time to quit smoking. Working long days as a housekeeper and taking online college classes just adds more stress. With a troubled childhood and a dark past looming over her shoulder, James is untrusting of others therefore lets very few people into her life.

That is until she stumbles -- literally -- into Tristen, a computer software engineer who won't take 'no' for an answer. He's different, kind, and fun. And French. He wants to get to know her, but will her past drive him away like the others and if he does stay, can he endure damage of her skeletons tumbling out of the closet?
