Our overworked home business owner hires a live-in housekeeper. He is pleasant but insists that it is his house, his rules. Her 'daughter' becomes quite the tease. 'Mom' gets competitive and ups the ante. However, the Boss hates a tease who can't deliver, so enforces a dress code. The Girls pay the embarrassing price, willingly, to their surprise. As do their friends when the new, very strict dress codes are enforced. The Boss is not unhappy when the teasing becomes a game. He can play, too.

Toby Adamson, now almost 18 years old, has been best friends with twins Andrew and Natasha Stevenson ever since they met in kindergarten, when they were all just 5 years of age. Toby was totally in love with Natasha by the time that they reached the age of 10. Sadly for him, she couldn’t ever seem to see him as more than a best friend. Indeed, she isn't even going to be at his 18th birthday celebration lunch, as she is spending the Easter break with her first serious boyfriend, Rupert......

What would you do, if after a college party, you find yourself intertwined with a woman (who just happens to be your best friend), and you don't remember what had happened the night before? Especially if you were both virgins?
