It's all about the misconceptions or so it seems... When Michael (Mike) Withers relocated to Jacksonville, taking over as Withers International's CEO in an effort to be closer to his sister and her new family, he never imagined finding himself at a crossroads. Burned by his ex-fiancée, Mike traded in his dream of a house with a white picket fence and a family of his own and submersed himself in work and entertaining the occasional lady, even if the woman in question worked for him. Was he a player? Hardly. But Nicole (Nikki) Baxter wouldn't believe the truth even if it hit her between the eyes. The woman claimed that once a player, always a player. Compelled to prove her wrong, games begin which Mike is quick to realize could lead him down one of two roads: heartache or the life he had desired once but had resolved to quit chasing. Maybe he'd given up too early? Maybe his ex hadn't really been the one? And maybe happiness lay in the form of a feisty, argumentative, tiny package with tight skirts and an ability to turn any argument into foreplay?
