Summer Watson seems to have it all. Twenty-five years old, beautiful, a rising local TV reporter, she attends a birthday party at a backyard swimming pool for one of the wealthiest self-made CEOs in St. Louis...as his son's date. She doesn't intend to fall in love with his 50-year-old father.

When Summer meets Clayton Solomon, she can't believe such a handsome, rich man who is 50 years old wants her. Then she learns his secret fetish. A furry, he enjoys dressing up to make love in a lion costume. Summer resists. The romance she craves invites enough criticism because of her younger age. Clayton's passion overwhelms her hesitation. She can't control her love for Clayton.

Clayton Solomon doesn't intend to steal the woman his son loves so madly. Summer still nurses the emotional scars from her only serious previous relationship. Clayton counts three ex-wives. Summer demands fidelity. Clayton can't stop himself from cheating, according to all three ex-wives. And his own children.

Summer's family thinks Clayton is too old for her. Clayton's family thinks Summer too young for him...except his son, who simply seethes with jealousy. Summer's friends call Clayton a pervert. His friends believe Summer a gold digger.

Can they make their love work despite the fear of having their furry sexual practices "revealed" and opposition from their family and friends? Can Summer even keep the peace long enough for everyone to celebrate Father's Day together so that Clayton can spend it with his children and grandchildren?
