Just Paying the Rent

A maintenance woman at a low-end complex in downtown Chicago, Jessie Billows has always been good at fixing things. It's relationships that give her trouble. She usually spends quiet nights alone in her apartment-when her boisterous and somewhat potty-mouthed best friend Trish isn't visiting-trying not to think about the love life she doesn't have. Of course, there's Eddie, the hot Latino shop owner Jessie calls when a problem is too big for her to handle. Their relationship has been nothing more than heavy flirting until a brief encounter that leaves Jessie wondering what it means. Then everything changes. There's been a murder at the complex and on the scene is the sexy British Detective Devan Winters. Jessie's boring life instantly changes to focus on the murder, a missing tenant, and a something she never expected: a love triangle.
