She isn't weak or under the misconception that she requires a man to have the life she deserves. She believes that men will only try to take care of her or bend her to their will to rid her of her independence. That is until the fateful day she meets Tarley. Tarley has been to hell and back making himself believe that he has nothing to offer a woman and wonders if he will ever find someone that would offer the type of caring relationship his friend has. Monica and Tarley develop a friendship that offers something they both need and seek - someone to care about them just as they are. Will his troubled past and her strong sense of independence keep them from attaining the ultimate contentment they both desire?
