She's a hardworking doctor determined to put the past behind her. But her past appears just as determined to haunt her when it threw the man who'd beleaguered her and hadn't seen in five years to live next door to her. He's a second generation career man, a military aviator equipped with humor and charm and at odds with his best friend's wife- with a woman who hates the very sight of him and said so right to his face. To find out that his new next door neighbor is Cheryl Gregg, Peter Barrett is at a loss for words, wondering if someone up there is playing a colossal joke. Of all places he can rent an apartment, he just had to live next door with a woman whose temper he's tasted in more than one occasion.
