A very educated but lonely and plain professor entangles her life with a rough, explosive Italian chef.  Being opposites in so many ways add a dimension to their relationship that neither have seen before.  In Katrina's case, she's overcome by the powerful feelings that this man brings out in her.  In Antonio's mind, he can hardly believe his life has turned to protecting this woman whose lush body and brilliant mind has taken him hit him with such a wallop.  Both are so crazy for each other everyone they don't seem to know what to do next.
