New York City – Present Day

Celebrity publicist Chloe Burnett and sports agent Parker Sullivan were briefly connected by the marriage of their parents, though they had never met. Chloe’s mother asks her to pick up a box at her soon-to-be ex-husband’s house on Long Island. Arriving at the mansion belonging to George Sullivan, Chloe runs into the son, Parker. They have a bit of bantering back and forth about each other’s occupations, and then each goes their separate ways. But Parker is soon contacting Chloe after his star player becomes the subject of gossip and speculation on social media by an unknown entrant in celebrity takedowns by the name of Little Black Book. She jumps at the chance to work for Parker, if just to prove to him that she’s great at her job.

Parker invites Chloe to go with him to Miami to help facilitate interviews for his client to help soften the damage. They end up staying in the same place and are soon sharing the same bed. It was only one night, but what a night it was! But it all comes to a screeching halt after Little Black Book sends a mysterious text to Chloe that includes a picture of her and Parker in a sensual embrace. The message includes a threat to stop investigating them, but it isn’t Chloe that’s doing the investigation. It’s Parker. After shrugging off the threat, Chloe and Parker try to go their separate ways, but they’re soon back in each other’s arms.

Their parents might be divorced now but that doesn’t mean their children can’t have a little “fun” together. They are adults after all.

Meanwhile, Little Black Book strikes at them again. Parker is determined to unmask them, but it leads to a woman who has been dead for years.
