'No man is perfect' has always been Courtney Clark's dating motto. Until, at her best friend's wedding, she spends a magical night with the best man, her secret childhood crush. After fulfilling her dreams in the handsome Navy officer's arms, Courtney is almost convinced that he's not only perfect, but possibly her soul mate. Except that he's a rigid neat freak with every minute of his day planned, and she's a free-spirited hot mess. And then there's his crazy ex-girlfriend...

Lieutenant Commander Drew Randall can't believe the beautiful woman he spends a passionate night with is the same gangly, red-haired, freckle-faced kid who used to hang around their house after school. Courtney Clark is a knockout. And since Drew's about to be deployed, Courtney's offer of a "friends with benefits" deal is the perfect arrangement. Then Courtney's life is threatened, and Drew realizes his feelings for her go deeper than a fun romp in bed. But how can he ask this 'live for the moment' woman to wait for him?
