Recently unemployed, Carla takes up her friend Milly's offer to house-sit her beach house and look after her dog Katie. Milly assures her that the guy staying there already has a girlfriend and won't mess with Carla's tender heart. Carla has come out of another toxic romantic relationship and doesn't want her heart broken again.

And, well, his girlfriend is just a relationship of convenience. But she doesn't recognise that he's a Hollywood celebrity.
Is a non-celeb from another country worth Craig risking his reputation and precious time? Carla fears the worst about relationships. Is it even safe to risk an affair with the cute, mysterious friend of a friend?
