Maggie has suffered through a great deal of loss lately her grandfather just died and she discovered her boyfriend cheating on her. So with little to no money, no place to live and no job she jumps on a bus to fulfill her grandfather’s last wish: that she take an old baseball card and some memento to Christian. Now Christian has suffered a bad career ending injury and he’s been self medicating with alcohol. While on the bus with a load of geriatric drag queens (love those names!!) she sees a dog on a train track and asks the bus driver to stop. She runs to rescue the dog and Christian runs to rescue her and unfortunately in the midst of all this Maggie falls, hits her head and loses her memory. So she agrees to work with Christian as his housekeeper while she tries to regroup. Christian although grumpy was very attracted to Maggie and really wanted to pursue a relationship with her. Maggie only hampered by the memories she cannot recall wants to hold off. This story is very cute with lots of secondary characters who are funny and brings lots of levity to the story.
