When Jasper accepts a much needed job, he finds himself hopelessly attracted to his new boss.
It's been a difficult year in money and love for Jasper. When he's hired by a wealthy client that needs his kitchen completely redone, Jasper is eager for the work and the distraction it provides from his personal woes. His new boss, Erick, is handsome and charming, and Jasper can't help falling for him despite his best efforts. He keeps his feelings to himself though, and maintains his professionalism even when Erick flirts with him. Jasper is convinced that there is no way such a gorgeous and successful man would be interested in him, but he doesn't take into account Erick's interest toward him. By year's end, there will be a new kitchen for Erick - but will there also be more than that for both him and Jasper?
