Jennifer Medina, successful romance writer, is suffering from writer's block. Having divorced her critical husband, she is determined to avoid men and concentrate on career and volunteer work. Ray Trevino prefers working outside in the family's construction business, so he has refused his dad's offer of an office job to help run the company. Past experience taught him not to take risks in his personal or business life. When they meet, immediate attraction flares. Ray invites Jennifer out—not on a real date, but as research for her book. Yet despite their wariness about love and commitment, their relationship progresses until both realize they've crossed boundaries...and they go their separate ways. Can they somehow forget the past and make better memories this Christmas?
