Mariah doesn't trust men. It doesn't help that her job has conditioned her to believe that all rich and handsome men are complete jerks, either. When Zayad, a man with the imposing presence of a proud foreign king, practically overflowing with confidence, moves in next door, Mariah can't help but feel hostility toward her new neighbor. However, when she takes a spill in the shower and is left unable to move, the one to hear her cries and come running to the rescue is none other than Zayad himself! He's the last person she wants to see her in this unsightly state! Ignoring her pleas not to enter the bathroom, Zayad mercilessly opens the door...
