She was only in town for the weekend.
One-night stands are usually pretty casual. You get in, do your thing, and get out. So when Lucy Marquez drunkenly flirts her way into Dexter Greer's apartment-all the way to a bed covered in Egyptian cotton-she treated it as just A one night stand. But now, three years later, when her life is upended after being fired from her job, she has the opportunity of a lifetime. One she didn't know would bring her right back into the arms of her fling thousands of miles away from her humdrum yet cozy life in Seattle.
While Lucy tries to navigate the ups and downs of an intimidatingly uncharted career path, Dexter shares the heartbreaking downs of his own, making him realize how un-casual their one-night stand was. And as he welcomes Lucy back into his own life in New York City, the shattered pieces of his heartbreak and past stand front and center, making him see for the first time what "home" truly feels like.
Sometimes, the one who got away is closer than you think.
