When a woman behind a dumpster pulls a gun on Tony “Legs” Caruso, he makes quick work of disarming her. But he’s unprepared for the instinct to help her that overrides his normally good senses. Audrey Byrne fears the strings attached to Tony’s offer for help, but after a fire destroys all her possessions in the motel they were staying at, she has no choice. When Tony asks her to move with him to Hawaii, Audrey is shocked, but with trouble not far behind, she can’t stay on the mainland. Can they live together as just friends, or will the desire rising between them overpower their pledge to stay platonic?
