She spends a night in jail, take on job as lackey to her toady ex-boyfriend, and is much too distracted by one sexy contractor..

Jake Manning has had some tough knocks in life. Now all he wants is to make enough money to finish his degree, and maybe get a nice house with a nice wife and a nice kid. But Prada-clad ice princess Robin Lear is turning his life upside down with her sassy-and disastrous-ways. Jake's head tells him to run, don't walk, from this gogeous train wreck of a woman. A man would have to be crazy to pursue someone like her. But Jake "is" crazy- about her.....
