In Hawaii, he meets Gretchen, the talented masseuse. But the two of them are from entirely different worlds, and they know from the get-go that a relationship would never work out between them. Not only is Gretchen skeptical of his interest in her—she's read the articles, and she knows what type of guy Christian is—but there's no way she's moving to New York with him...and that's where his life and job are based.
What happens when they find themselves falling more and more in love with the other, though? Is there any way for them to compromise and have their happily ever after? Or as Gretchen's friend insists, is it possible that happy endings just don't exist in the real world?
