Rashida has always wanted to open her own restaurant. When her best friend finds her the perfect building, her dreams seem a step closer—but then she sees the asking price. There's no way Rashida can come up with the money in time. Or so she thought, until she has a chance encounter with Elliott, who quickly turns into a good friend…with benefits. As the heir to an architecture empire, Elliott seems to be the perfect person to partner with on the restaurant. When he took over after his father's heart attack, he discovered their finances aren't exactly rosy. But Rashida's rundown building might be a way to get his father's company back on track. And help somebody he's grown to care for. The arrangement seems perfect. But then two people from their past get wind of the situation. Suddenly everybody wants a piece of that building. While Elliott and Rashida have their reasons why they want it, they also want each other, and getting one means losing the other.
