| After witnessing a professional hit, Seattle architect Pamela Hayes has testified in court against the hit man. Unfortunately, a mistrial is declared and the hit man is released on bail while awaiting a new trial. He intends to silence the sole witness to the murder before that new trial begins. She needs to hide, and she runs as far as she to steamy Key West., Florida. Jonas Brenner, a Key West bar owner and easy-going slacker, is about to lose custody of his orphaned five-year-old niece unless he can convince the courts that he was a responsible father. What he needs is a prim and proper wife who will create the illusion that Lizard, as his niece likes to be called, is being raised in a stable environment. What Pam needs is a new identity. Joe offers her a if she marries him and takes his name, no Pacific Northwest hit man is going to find her. In return, she can pose as Jonas respectable wife, dutifully caring for the rambunctious, feather-wearing Lizard. Of course, this will be a marriage in name only. No sex. No emotions. No love. Which, once Pam and Joe move in together and the sparks begin to fly, is easier said than done.
