When the owner of the local flower shop in Rome, Kentucky, makes a questionable agreement with a tattooed bad boy, a delightful friends to lovers romance begins to bloom--from the author of When in Rome and The Cheat Sheet.

Annie Walker is on a quest to find her perfect match-someone who nicely compliments her happy, quiet life running her flower shop in Rome, Kentucky. Unfortunately, she worries her goal might be too far out of reach when she overhears her date saying she is "sounbelievably boring." Is it too late to become flirtatious and fun like the leading ladies in her favorite romance movies? Maybe she only needs a little practice...and Annie has the perfect person in mind to become her tutor: Will Griffin.

Will--the flirtatious, tattooed, and absolutely gorgeous bodyguard--is temporarily back in Rome, providing security for Amelia Rose as excitement grows for her upcoming marriage to Noah Walker. He has one personal objective during his time in town: stay away from Annie Walker. But no sooner than he gets settled, Will soon finds himself not only breaking his rule, but tasked with far more than simply providing security.

Will wants no part in changing the sweet and lovely Annie, but he can't bring himself to say no to her request, so he officially agrees to teach her how to be the next leading lady of Rome, Kentucky, and find the love of her life-even if he doesn't believe in love himself. Between faking a relationship so the meddling town doesn't catch on to what's really happening on their practice dates, and tutoring lessons that convince Annie to add passion to her list of must-haves in a mate, it doesn't take long for the lines of their friendship to blur...

And when I looked it up, Yelp said this place has an excellent giant brownie. It doesn't get better than that. The dessert is literally the only reason I’m still sitting here on this painfully awkward date.

Yes!!!! 6th grade science teacher here & it’s so fascinating!

I would elaborate, but now the only thing swirling around my brain is the reproductive cycle of flowers (which I find deeply fascinating), but I have a distinct feeling that John is not the type marvel at life science. So I clamp my mouth shut again.

I am the quiet one in my family. The one with her nose always in a book because she prefers worlds where she doesn't have to interact with other humans. It's so much easier to read about relation- ships than to foster them. Less dangerous too. I can't offend anyone written into a book. I can't say the wrong thing. And book characters don't make judgments about me. 

he's a roguish, wild fiend. A pirate. At least, he is in my fantasies. Also, in said fantasies, he has an earring and wears tight buckskin breeches with an open-collar, white linen shirt that reveals the chest portion of his tattoos thatI'm assuming exist.

I think maybe you're too nice?" He says it like a question. "My sisters would agree with you, but one peek inside my head my head during traffic . . ." I whistle lightly and let the implied villainy dangle. 

 "Dont worry about me. Seriously. I'll have a spectacular night. There's a book I've really been wanting to finish." 

“Are you one of those non readers?The movie is never better, I assure you." 

shoe of choice is a pair of white Converses. Attire: one of my five different-color overalls with a Tshirt underneath. If you look up the word comfy in the dictionary you will find a picture of me. as

We’d never really talked before because first, I don't socialize while on the job, and second, I've known since the moment I laid eyes on Annie that I needed to stay the hell away from her. Some- thing about her attracts me in an I-could-get-feelings-for-her kind of way. And I don't do feelings.
