A wallflower gets seduction tips from a playboy athlete—until love changes the rules.
Socially awkward Joellen Bixby has a date every Saturday—with her cat, a pint of ice cream, and fantasies of the way-too-handsome Michael Maddox. She’d give anything to win over the unattainable CEO of her firm, but how can she when she blends in so well with her cubicle? The answer may be closer than she thinks.
Cameron McGregor is a cocky, tattooed Scottish rugby captain who just moved in next door. He’s not Jo’s type—at all—but the notorious playboy is offering to teach the wallflower everything he knows about inspiring desire. Though a lot of women have rumpled Cam’s kilt, Jo is special. Far from the ugly duckling she thinks she is, in Cam’s eyes she’s sharp, funny, and effortlessly sexy. Now, thanks to him, Jo is blooming with confidence and has the man of her dreams within reach.
Unfortunately for Cam, he’s just helped to push the woman of his dreams into the arms of another man—and now he’s in the fight of his life to keep this beauty from getting away.

Joellen Bixby is what people would describe as a wallflower. Quiet, blends in with her surroundings, terrible self esteem. She is secretly in love with the CEO of her firm and has been for 10 years. When Cameron McGregor moves in next door she is appalled by his cocky attitude and music. After coming to an agreement to get him to stop playing his loud rap music Joellen learns to calmly deal with Cameron. When he finds out about Joellen’s feeling for her boss he offers to help her pursue him. She wants to lose weight get toned so Cam helps with an exercise program and better eating habits. He works hard to get her to stop putting herself down and getting upset about the things people say to her. With helping Joellen get what she wants he realizes he is pushing the women of his dreams into another man’s arms. With her boss showing her some attention Joellen is super excited. She is also up for a promotion at work which she is excited for also. When she finds out her boss is not who he seems she is devastated. Cam is there to pick up the pieces. Maybe the man of her dreams has been right in front of her all this time.
