New Year's Eve in New Orleans is the perfect getaway for Charlie Jones after a disastrous relationship with a coworker who turned out to be married derailed her career plans. Proof she should keep things casual-like she always had before. A one night stand might be just the ticket to jumpstart a better year. And she's got her eye on the ideal candidate.

When a short-term assignment brings Charlie back home to Baltimore, she and Deke run into each other at a local restaurant. They figure it's the perfect opportunity to have that casual fling. Deke's determined to enjoy a wild year and Charlie's focused on finding a permanent job. Neither expected anything serious. Then Deke starts falling for her-hard. But Charlie's not interested in love, marriage, or kids, and she's got a new job that's taking her away from Baltimore. Deke's got three months to convince her to stay.
