Jake Cooper is a contractor hired by Dr. Golding, a psychologist, to install a hot tub in the doctor's office. Dr. Golding is not available to oversee the work because he is in the hospital undergoing bypass surgery.
So Jake is alone at Golding's office when a distraught woman, Maggie Ivey, appears for her first appointment with the doctor whom she as never met before. She mistakes Jake for Golding and he fails to correct her error because she obviously needs a sympathetic ear and she is also very cute.
Jake allows the deception to continue, even going so far as to enlist the help of his family and friends. So "Doctor Golding" continues to use the
actual doctor's identity & office to see Maggie. Of course, eventually the chickens will come home to roost, and Jake will be in serious trouble.
Which is the last thing he wants because he has fallen for sweet, needy Maggie. How will he get himself out of the hole has dug himself into?
This was a pretty good story despite its ridiculous premise. I enjoyed this
simple romance story even if it didn't make much sense. And even though the Maggie character only needs a good man in her life to make all her problems go away, LOL. Shades of the 1950s!
