"A confirmed bachelor, Cliff Howard wasn't prepared to trade in the fast lane. Diana Collins plowed through life hiding behind motherhood, determined to play it safe by living in the shadows. She'd suffered the ultimate loss in love. Cliff and Diana had both become adept at playing their roles--until the playboy met the widow.
Forced to trade in his carefree life of expensive sports cars and fancy restaurants, confirmed bachelor and playboy Cliff Howard joins a carpool with station wagon-driving, widowed mother Diana Collins, and unlikely sparks fly. "
