Can a sweet and sexy fireman change a fling into a happily ever after? Neil Farris is your typical 'love 'em and leave 'em' type. He's been told his biggest fear is commitment, but he's not bothered by that. He doesn't see the point of a long-term relationship. He either gets bored or his partners realize he's too bossy and scathing. It's easier to stick to one-night stands. When his boring work conference in Brisbane sends him to the wrong hotel, he finds himself surrounded by gorgeous firemen. Luckily for him, one of them is gay and interested in a good time. Scott Fields is everything Neil looks for in a fling-gorgeous, good in bed and temporary. He's also nice and considerate, which is a bonus. It's a shame Neil only gets two nights with the fireman before he's returning home. However, much to his surprise, he runs into Scott a few days later. It turns out they're both from the same town. When Scott asks him out, Neil is hesitant but agrees. He really isn't interested in dating or relationships. Can the sweet and sexy fireman change his mind?
