Lacy McGuire is the most likable "flake." She has more
personality in her little finger than most do in their
whole body. She is a divorced photographer with a menagerie
of pets who share her eclectic home, filled with talking
appliances and over-the-top Christmas décor -- in February.
Meanwhile, Chase Kelly is suddenly on the run after a near
death experience after his crooked partner tries to frame
him to look like a drug thief. This is not what Chase needs
after recently losing his wife.
Chase shows up in Lacy's backyard after falling off a
bridge into a river and being shot. Battered and bruised,
he's looking for a place to hide out. Holding her hostage
in her own house while he sorts out the mystery of dirty
cops and drug dealers, Chase tries to convince her of his
innocence as his reputation is smeared on TV and manhunt
ensues.
These two desperate souls seem to collide with each other
at just the right time. Lacy is definitely divorced. She is
desperate for some male attention. And there's certainly
one desperate male who finds her delicious! YUM!
Ever since photographer Lacy Maguire caught her ex playing
Pin the Secretary to the Elevator Wall, she's been content
with her dog Fabio, her three cats, and a vow of chastity.
But all that changes when the reindeer-antlered Fabio drags
in a very desperate, on-the-run detective who decides to
take refuge in her house--a house filled with twinkling
lights and a decorated tree. (Okay, so it's February. but
she has a broken heart to mend, a Christmas-card shoot to
do, and a six-times divorced, match-making mother to
appease.) For the first time in a looong while, Lacy
reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly, wounded soul
that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking
her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him
out of jail...
