In exchange for his help, she'll pretend to be his girlfriend. Millionaire Dylan Daughtry is tired of dealing with greedy gold diggers, but he's desperate to get laid. He's so desperate that he considers going behind his best friend Will's back to teach his little sister, Jules, the art of pleasuring men in exchange for her help "getting out of the closet" and squashing rumors about his sexuality.

    It wasn't just because his azure blue eyes seemed to pierce her soul, or the fact that his dark silky hair drew her fingers in like a magnet. It wasn't even that he smelled like sex on the beach on a cool balmy night or the fact that when he grabbed her around the waist and drew her to him, she lost her breath. No, those weren't the only reasons why Elizabeth called Scott a sex god. They weren't even the reasons why she decided to spend the night with him. Or the reasons why she decided to accept the one job that would change her life and complicate everything they had. No, the fact that Scott Taylor was a Sex God was the reason she was drawn to him, but the reason why she stayed was a whole lot more complicated.
