Having spent most of his adult life traveling the world, Cooper Winslow has finally returned home. While he's happy to be settling back into small town life, he's not looking to settle down any time soon. It's far more enjoyable to keep his options open.

Jane Taylor's marriage could only be described as one huge mistake. She's older and hopefully far wiser now, and she's taking an indefinite break from love and dating. Men always seem to come with trouble.

Despite their aversion to romance, Cooper and Jane find that they have nothing against indulging in some steamy carnal pleasures whenever they get the chance. Their clandestine affair has been going on for months, and the town truly doesn't seem to realize what's been going on under their very noses.

It's all going smoothly until Cooper's ex-wife and former brother-in-law show up in Winslow Heights unexpectedly. He hasn't seen them in years, and frankly, never expected to. But when his brother-in-law vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Cooper and Jane are pulled into the investigation, working together to figure out what happened.

The more time they spend together - with their clothes on - the more they're beginning to realize that they might actually feel something for each other. And that's scarier than any mayhem or mystery in their little town.
