Growing up with a vagabond, Bohemian mom who was always too preoccupied with an endless string of lovers to do much mothering, Chyna Preston has always longed to be normal. Now, married to Grant, she has the perfect conventional life she's always dreamed of—a secure marriage to a husband she adores; acceptance into his upper-middle class, conservative, Southern family; a gorgeous house in an upscale neighborhood; and a respectable career as a teacher at the elite Appleton Academy.
But everything changes when she quits her job, refusing to lie about a colleague. Now no one will hire her, their credit cards are maxed out, and the house needs constant repairs.
Inviting Grant's best friend Hank to move in seems like the perfect solution.
Chyna resists her growing attraction to their new roommate who shares her passion for gardening . . . until she makes an unexpected discovery that will upend all three of their lives. Now, torn between the respectability she craves and her love for two men, can Chyna risk her heart for the chance to have it all?
