Roberta "Bobbie" Richardson is looking for a mechanic to work in her floundering auto repair shop. The last person she expects to see is her first love, the man who unceremoniously dumped her over a decade earlier. Irresistibly sexy Marine, Justin Hastings, has returned home to start his civilian life and try to win custody of his daughter who is now living with her wealthy grandmother. Justin offers to return to his former job and help Bobbie get the business back on its feet but only if she marries him to boosts his chances in the custody battle. The sparks start to fly when the couple is forced to live under the same roof and eternal tomboy Bobbie must play the role of the perfect little homemaker.
