Happy Ends gibt es eigentlich nur in Märchen... oder? Mit dem Kopf in den rosa Wolken und dem heißesten Typen Bostons im Bett kann Piper den grauen Alltag leicht vergessen. Bei ihr und Lex sieht es nach den ersten Wochen ihrer Beziehung jedenfalls nicht danach aus, als würde Langeweile einkehren! Trotzdem schweben graue Gewitterwolken über den beiden Turteltauben, denn Lex' Mutter, Mabel Rutherford, ist alles andere als begeistert über die Beziehung. Die intrigante Mrs Rutherford geht sogar so weit, Piper von einem Privatdetektiv beschatten zu lassen.

Doch für sie ist klar: Das war bloß ein Vergnügen für eine Nacht. Romantische Beziehungen sind einfach nichts für Piper. Ein zweites zufälliges Treffen bringt ihren Entschluss gehörig ins Wanken, denn Lex weiß genau, wie er ihre harte Schale durchbrechen kann.
