Monique (or Mo) has always been in control of her life – the oldest of three children, with a mother who died young, she had to take on a maternal role. While she may have a loving relationship with her family, her romantic life is lacking. As a cardiac surgeon married to her work, Mo is unable and unwilling to be tied down to one person. Her complete distaste for commitment is reflected in her choice of bed warmer, a married Canadian surgeon who often works in Brussels. Max, a gay man and artist cum social worker, bursts into her life one day asking to rent the first floor of her home. She agrees and their friendship grows from there. Max and Mo see each other through both the light and heavier moments of life, stumbling together as they figure themselves out. Though sex may not be in their future together, something else is, in this delightful story that promotes accepting love and joy wherever you can find it!
