Cassie Jamison never expected her morning hospital shift to change her life. A dedicated child doctor, she's used to healing hearts-just not her own.
Enter Elliot Steel: ruthless CEO of *La Fragrance*, known for his icy demeanor, sharp tongue, and refusal to believe in love. He also happens to be the protective uncle of Ami-Cassie's sweetest patient.
When Ami convinces Elliot to make Cassie her personal doctor, their worlds collide. One innocent comment sparks a dangerous game: Cassie claims Elliot isn't romantic. Elliot challenges her to prove him wrong-by teaching him every romantic trick in the book.
The rules? He must go on dates, use Cassie's lessons, and see if he actually falls for one of the women. If he does, he'll change his cold, arrogant ways.
But Elliot never planned on falling for any of them.
His only goal? Make Cassie fall for him instead.
