Jenna- After getting my heart trampled on by a man, I am in no hurry to ever go through that again. I go back to school, get my degree, and move to Cape Isle. For two years, I am content with my boring, practical life, until Parker Hamilton comes strolling into town with his tailored suits and his dirty talking mouth. Our arrangement is supposed to be simple: just sex. Of course the universe has other plans and once again I am left vulnerable to a man. Parker- I spent the last few years working my ass off to open up my own law firm back in my hometown. I don't have the time for a relationship, nor do I want the stress that comes from having to deal with one. All of that changes for me the minute I meet Jenna Hudson. Our 'friends with benefits' arrangement quickly becomes something more for me, but I'm not sure Jenna will ever allow herself to feel the same way. When real life slaps us in the face, I have to try to figure out how to make this guarded girl believe that I am not going anywhere. She can try to push me away all she wants, but I'll be damned if I'm going to leave her alone to deal with her vulnerable pieces.
