Plot Summary of Mr. Maybe
"Libby Mason is a 27 year old, single woman looking for Mr. Right. Although Libby is attractive, smart and has a good job as a public relations assistant, she is tired of always being the bridesmaid and never the bride. Libby's perfect dream is to meet and marry a handsome and rich Mr. Right and live in a fancy home. When Libby meets Nick, a sexy writer, she quickly realizes that he doesn't meet her criteria for a mate. First of all, Nick has no money. And secondly, he lives in a crummy flat and has a pack of friends that Libby dislikes. Despite his flaws Nick is fantastic between the sheets and Libby finds herself falling for Mr. Wrong. Problem is, Nick has no intention of committing to Libby. When Libby meets Ed McMann, a wealthy and successful financier, she realizes that on paper Ed is everything she's been looking for in a husband. He is interested in getting married, he's successful, he has sacks of cash, he's powerful and well-connected. Ed is the Anti-Nick. Problem is, Ed is not handsome, he doesn't have a sense of humor and he has no sexual appeal. In a nutshell, he doesn't make her feel the way Nick makes her feel.

As Libby is forced to choose between two men and two lifestyles she has to look inside her heart to see what really matters."

Sandra Calhoune, Resident Scholar
