Heartbroken by her breakup with Curtis, Rory teams up with her best friend, Mimi, to devise one wild scheme after another in hopes of rekindling the romance. But aside from sex, Curtis seems to have no interest in Rory. She accepts the blame for their breakup. And she's apologized repeatedly for going behind his back and almost getting herself killed. But he's still too bitter to let her back in. When her various, clumsy efforts fail to win him back, a beloved spirit steps in to help reunite the lovers. Rory is thrilled to be back with her man, even though his overprotectiveness gets out of hand. She does her best to stay out of trouble and stop keeping secrets. But trouble has a way of following Rory and while she doesn't want to be secretive, she definitely doesn't want to scare him off, either. That makes it all the more surprising when she realizes Curtis secrets of his own. Should she trust him? Or will her suspicions land her in the worst danger she's ever faced?
