I’m not good with first impressions, especially if the person I’m trying to impress is a gorgeous woman who our mutual friends are sure is my “perfect woman.” So when I bungle my blind date with the curvy bombshell, I’m sure I’ve missed my one shot. When Hazel Prescott comes to me a year later, begging me to pretend to be her boyfriend for the weekend, I’m all in. Worse case scenario, maybe she’ll love me for my dog and accept that we’re a package deal.
