When her father's heart problems temporarily put him on the sidelines, Shae Harriman steps in to run his general contracting company and oversee the largest residential building project the company has ever tackled, Sullivan's Creek. Though she has the education, she has no management or supervisory experience, which immediately alienates her crews. Megastar entertainer Ned Collier undertook Sullivan's Creek to get his mother into safer housing while he is on the road, but now he's running out of money, and his ego doesn't want her, his best friend or anyone else to know. To Shae's consternation, he insists on serving as his own project manager so he can control costs.Their inexperience pitted against her desire to succeed, his autonomous penny-pinching maneuvers, and high stakes construction issues send them into each other's arms, even though they come from two different worlds.
