Trish Carter has found the other side of an unsatisfying relationship and is now ready to embrace a new job and a new life. She isn't expecting to test the limits of her fresh start on her first day at work though. The striking young author, June Williams, grabs her attention from their first conversation and Trish can't seem to stay away from her.

When the two women form a pact to test the theories June is researching for her book, they quickly discover that romantic friendships are easier on paper. Their contract clearly stipulates which types of intimacy is allowed and which aren't. Holding hands is okay—but kissing certainly is not.

At first the deal seems perfect. They can be close to one another without risking too much. But what happens when they cross the line and the boundaries of the contract conflict with real life?
