Socially awkward Meredith Sparks struggles with anxiety. Nerdy to her core, she battled social ostracism in her adolescence, and interacting with people frightens her: especially members of the opposite sex. When her well-meaning, bubbly psychiatrist tells her to confront her fears, Meredith agrees, until the prescription becomes more nerve-wracking than she can handle. Enter Gentlemen Only, the prestigious night club that hosts the most elite, gentlemanly patrons. Now, stuck in a mental tug of war between two very territorial, gorgeous men, Meredith must somehow overcome her own mind in a fight to keep her sanity while she journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
