Down on her luck blues singer, Gabriella Santos, escapes her over-protective family, along with a series of bad relationships, for a gig in Chicago to prove she's not the flake her family believes her to be. But when she tangles with the sexy but aloof bar owner, Shane O'Neil, she starts to think she might have bitten off more than she can chew. Ex-special forces guy turned private detective and reluctant bar owner, Shane O'Neil has a laundry list of things he doesn't like, starting with cops. He also doesn't like a too-beautiful-for-her-own-good blues singer trying to tell him how to run his bar. She's pushy, chatty, high-maintenance, and does everything she can do to get under his skin. But when he ends up beaten to a pulp in a Chicago alley, he has no choice but to rely on Gabriella for help. Despite the sizzling chemistry between them, finding the balance between trust and commitment is a formidable task.
