Psychologist Dr. Stephanie Collier's dream to open her own clinic collapses when her friend Val backs out of their shared investment in a mingle, a two-bedroom apartment with a view of the Pacific. When their real estate agent comes up with another buyer, a Dr. Barclay who works at the nearby Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Stephanie's desperate enough to consider living with a stranger. But the agent fails to mention that the buyer is male . . .an extremely attractive male. After a nasty divorce, Dr. Liam Barclay has no intention of cohabiting with a woman, especially one he doesn't know. However, buying the property would be a good financial move for both of them, and Liam finds Stephanie as tempting as the ocean view. Although logic dictates that they should keep their living arrangement strictly professional, the close quarters quickly place their plans, their good intentions, and their hearts, in jeopardy.
