When high school teacher Sidney McDougal swung her front door open that Saturday morning, she expected to find a door-to-door salesman or a Jehovah witness standing on the other side. Instead, she found Cade Fisher, a devastatingly handsome handyman who instantly becomes her greatest obsession and the subject of her raunchiest fantasies and dreams. Nothing wrong with a little fantasy, right? Wrong. Even though Cade exudes confidence and maturity, he is barely out of high school. That, and his mother lives just down the street from Sidney, who is 32 and getting over a painful divorce. Sidney knows that getting involved with Cade would be a huge mistake.
