For Alexa McIntyre, the answer to everything comes down to numbers. Three sons. One divorce. One great life...except her boys are getting older and they really need a man around. Enter the number twenty, as in after twenty minutes with someone she knows whether or not she wants them in her life. So, she hatches a plan to meet any man who remotely strikes her interestтАФfor a twenty-minute date at her favorite coffee shop. ItтАЩs the perfect way to find her perfect match in the most efficient way possible.
Too bad coffee shop owner Marshall Calloway isnтАЩt keen on her using his shop as her speed-dating zone, especially since she's made it clear he's too young to be a contender. But against her better judgement, Alexa finds herself drawn to Marshall in ways she canтАЩt quantify. ThereтАЩs no easy answer, and once the kids become involved, her well-ordered world threatens to fall apartтАФtwenty minutes at a time.
