Maxime Dupont has a lot of stress he needs relieved. And when the girl from his office window is all too willing to leave the hot sun and spend time in his air-conditioned house, warming his bed, it all seems a little too perfect.
Maisie finds she keeps coming back for more. Hiding flushed cheeks behind closed doors, late night messages, and lingering touches, she wants a man she can't have.
And it sucks, but what's a girl gonna do when rent's due?
