In the charming town of Rome, Kentucky, florist Annie Walker is in search of her dream man, someone who could bring a distinct spark to her calm life. Deemed 'boring' by a recent date, Annie is determined to shake off her dull exterior and inject a dose of romantic flair into her life. She enlists the help of Will Griffin, a temporary but striking local bodyguard, for practice in the art of attraction. As they embark on steamy, pretend dates meant for Annie's transformation, the line between acting and genuine emotion blurs. Annie starts to wonder if romance doesn't need to follow a perfect script after all - it just needs to feel real. With graceful humor and heart, Sarah Adams presents a friends-to-lovers story that explores the blossoming of love where one least expects it.
