When a bachelorette party takes Aerin into her first strip club experience, the last thing she expects is to form a magnetic connection with one of the dancers-a captivating man who only seems to have eyes for her. A spontaneous, sultry dance quickly turns into something deeper when he unexpectedly asks her out mid-performance. What starts as a thrilling one-night stand quickly turns into something more. Nights together become a pattern, then a rhythm, as they slip into a casual relationship, but one on his terms. Strings are stretched thin and lines are blurred when the chemistry between them growns and burns into something deeper, an undeniable pull for more tugging on each side, but only one willing to fall. Soon, casual doesn't seem so casual, but the secrets behind the man's facade won't allow for more. And soon, Aerin finds herself questioning what it means to fall for someone who won't let you all the way in.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate.
