All of the fun, none of the heartacheâŠas long as they stick to the agreement.
The proposition is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by the time theyâre forty, theyâll take the proverbial plunge togetherâŠas friends with benefits. Maybe itâs the wine, but in the moment, Claire figures the pact is a safe-enough deal, considering she hasnât had much luck in love and heâs in no rush to settle down. Like, at all. Besides, thereâs no way she could ever really fall for Graham and his thrill-seeking ways. Not after what happened to her fatherâŠ
Just as things begin to heat up way before the proposed deadline, Grahamâs injured in a serious rock climbing accidentâand he needs Claireâs help to heal. Sheâll do whatever it takes to nurse him back to healthâŠeven if it means moving in to Grahamâs bed and putting up with his little dog, who hates her. But with this no-strings arrangement taking a complicated turn, keeping âfor nowâ from turning into âforeverâ isnât as easy as theyâd planned.
