For the last three years, twenty-four-year-old Kate Simmons has blamed herself for her fianc 's death... She's been unable to face the risks of a new relationship. But when Kate moves into a San Diego apartment with her best friend, Charlie, she's ready for a new lease on life. What she doesn't see coming is the onslaught of male attention headed her way. Before Kate knows it, she has her pick of guys... Roger Wilkins, the apartment building manager, is a really nice guy, and there's no denying his attraction to Kate, despite the fact that he already has a girlfriend. Appearances can be deceiving, though-and Kate wonders if something dark lurks beneath the surface. Then there's Mark Baxter, Kate's super attractive classmate. But he's got a gaggle of girls after him, and Kate has no interest in becoming just another groupie. Finally, there's Neil Statton, Kate's thirty-year-old alumni mentor. He hasn't been in a relationship since his wife passed away, but he certainly knows how to attract the ladies. Plus, he always gets what he wants. Kate's blooming romances are tricky to juggle... Kate has to choose, and it isn't going to be easy. She doesn't want to give Neil the time of day, while Mark pursues her relentlessly. When Roger informs her his girlfriend has been murdered, something feels off, and Kate becomes suspicious. What could Roger be hiding? Kate is ready to live her life again, and romance is knocking. But she must choose.
