After catching her fiance of ten months trying to clean out their plumber's rear end in her shower stall, River Jones decided the only relationship she'll ever have will be with her new fridge. No more men.

However, added to her (bad) luck, the owner of the house she's currently living in sold it to a new owner without notifying her at all. So when Decker Adams walked into the kitchen of his newly bought house, he did not expect a perky backside wrapped in a towel to greet him from the direction of an opened fridge.

After landing him in hospital and almost getting him arrested, they come off with an extremely bumpy start. To make matters worst, she finds out that Decker is her new boss at the law firm she interviewed at two weeks before. There they learn that company rule states no two employees are to be in an intimate relationship. But nothing will spur River to move until her rental contract finishes in six months, not even Decker's temperament and absurd lifestyle habits which lands them in many awkward situations. 

But when two people are forced to co-exist in such close quarters both at home and at work, they will clash and sparks will fly. Will Decker break River's 'date only my fridge' rule plus many other million dollar rules along the way, especially when they find out someone is trying to sabotage the stability of the law firm?
