Independent and successful, Lily Carmichael co-owns a booming catering business. Her dominating career allows no time for any outside involvement. No man. No dog. No life. With a hectic daily schedule, she participates in a social whirl of parties and events, but only from the sidelines.
Even before she was widowed, Lily embraced the type A work mode; her husband’s passion was food –- not his wife. To the world she presents herself as a hardworking career woman, but late at night her sub-conscience dreams of a nameless, faceless stranger whose dedication and singular devotion to her pleasure holds her in his thrall. Night after night, he pursues her, igniting the fire yet never fulfilling the promise. Lily becomes a woman haunted by her own fantasy life.
In her own unerring way, she stumbles across the perfect solution –- a real life fantasy man, who wants no entanglements, but is willing to bring her dream to an exciting climax. No more cliffhanger endings.
The perfect man comes to her in the form of forty-six year old Marshall Caudill, a man who’s played the relationship wheel his entire life. He professes no interest in marriage or family because his true love is the Oceanic Institute that bears his name. Women may be delightful and charming, but they are strictly recreational.
However, the women in his life aren't always quick to catch on. His sort-of ex "girlfriend", Muffy, has designs on Marshall that involve the words ‘until-death-do-them-part’. Marshall has no idea how literal Muffy can be, particularly since he believes they've broken up.
