GirlfriendâĻwithout benefits?
Hometown hockey hero, Blake has life completely figured out. Heâs footloose and fancy free with the worldâs coolest job and an endless parade of puck bunnies ready to help him celebrate his victories. The status quo is working for him, so why does he agree to co-parent a stray puppy with his too-serious, workaholic neighbor, Erika? And why is he so annoyed when she suddenly starts dating some tool named Doug? And why canât he stop finding excuses to see her and touch her and kiss her andâĻ Sheâs not his girlfriend, right?
Erika has enough on her plate as an ER doctor without adding any more stress to her life. So adopting a dog with Blake, the fun-loving, never-take-anything-serious, commitment-phobe across the hall is a stupid idea, right? Of course, she also probably shouldnât be his plus-one for charity galas either. Or seeking comfort from him during a thunderstorm. Or kissing his five-for-fighting boo-boos better. Or letting him teach her how to âreduce stressâ with her personal toy collection. After all, heâs not her boyfriend. Is he?
So what happens when two people reluctant to commit find love where they least expect itâĻ Right across the hall.
