Catie Bay has worshiped much older Chad McCray since she was a child. When she fumbles a seduction attempt after her graduation from high school, she flees to Europe, hoping she can forget her unrequited love.

Four years later, Catie returns, now a beautiful, worldly woman, and Chad, the quintessential bachelor, takes notice. He´s still not looking for love, but he wouldn´t turn down a romp in the sack with sexy Catie. She´s no longer the lovesick girl next door, though, and sometimes a man doesn´t know what he wants until it´s too late.
