With her very staid boyfriend out of the country for the week, Eileen Connolly wants to fulfill her most secret fantasy. She wants sex with a rugged, dark stranger - a man she would never have to see again before she commits to a life time of stability. With her darkest desires fulfilled, Eileen thinks she could accept Benjamin's proposal and move in with him. But rather than finding her fantasy man in a bar somewhere, Eileen unexpectedly encounters him in her office after hours installing telephone lines. He is everything she wants: single, footloose and fancy free and not the kind of guy like her boyfriend whose life is run by business.
Doing an installation rather than soothing irritable clients brings Shane Nichols a sense of satisfaction. His life is a mess owning a company that controls his every moment, so working with his hands brings a sense of accomplishment he had almost forgotten. He has been fantasizing about the blond lawyer in this office since the first time he caught a glimpse of her, so when she suddenly appears with a proposition, he accepts. But Shane wants more than one episode of fabulous sex. Now he wants to convince Eileen that he is the man she needs for permanence.
