At a wedding, the narrator catches the bouquet while Hunter Delucia catches the garter. Their mutual attraction leads to a hotel room encounter, but she escapes the next morning by giving him a wrong phone number. A year passes before they meet again at their friends' baby's birth. The chemistry remains electric. When Hunter asks for her real number this time, she gives him her mother's contact instead, thinking her mom's marriage talk will scare him away. She underestimates Hunter completely. He shows up at her mother's house for Sunday dinner, having charmed his way into the family and secured an eight week work assignment in her city. Hunter proposes a simple arrangement during his stay: eight weeks of incredible sex with no emotional complications. She agrees to the no strings attached deal, convinced she can keep her heart separate from her body. The plan seems perfect until feelings begin complicating their physical relationship.
