Synopsis

A failed engagement and a partnership in a new e-learning firm have led thirty-six-year-old Chaney Braxton from New York to Washington, D.C. Orphaned as a child, and now betrayed by her fianc�, Chaney's through dealing with things that die, leave--or wilt. In fact, she's got a new mantra: No plants, no pets, no penises. When Chaney meets half black, half Korean veterinarian Devin Rhym, she can't help being impressed with his knowledge and his soothing demeanor--not to mention his exotic good looks. At the same time, Chaney doesn't see herself taking on a twenty-eight-year-old "tadpole." She reminds herself that there are other, more age-appropriate fish in the sea. Or so she thinks... As Chaney and Devin embark on a relationship, other areas of their lives start to unravel. From family drama, career trouble, and some heart wrenching losses--to an unplanned surprise neither had bargained for--the unlikely lovers are forced to find solutions while finding each other. In the process, they may just find themselves.
