MaryAnn is assaulted, but saved from harm by an heroic, street-wise stranger. Her hero, Curtis, is not the kind of person she normally socializes with, but she can't help but be drawn to this brave and charming man. In Curtis she discovers love is blind--race, nationality and social class are irrelevant. In him she finds fun, excitement and security she has not felt in years. MaryAnn shares her experience with her best friend Amanda and suggests she meet Curtis's friend Eugene. Unfortunately, he's in prison, but sometimes true love must be sought out in unconventional places. Will they find the deepest, most exotic love of their lives? Will they find The Green Rose?
