Cancer has invaded her life, and unless she finds a way to participate in a clinical trial in Washington, DC, this may be one battle she loses. When Maya's best friend Kari offers Maya the lifeline of a place to stay, her brother's currently vacant DC apartment, the young woman eagerly accepts and goes to meet her fate . . . Ben Evans's plans have changed, and he s heading home for some much-needed rest and relaxation during his off-season in the major leagues. Upon arriving at his DC apartment, however, Ben is shocked to find Maya--his sister's friend, who he hardly knows--in residence.
