NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A small-town sweetheart and an emotionally unavailable bad boy try
to find some common ground in this chemistry-filled romance from the author of The Cheat Sheet
and When in Rome. A POPSUGAR AND CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Annie Walker
is on a quest to find her perfect match—someone who complements her happy quiet life running
the local flower shop in Rome Kentucky. But finding her dream man may be harder than Annie
imagined. Everyone knows everyone in her hometown and the dating prospects are getting fewer
by the day. After she overhears her latest date say she is “so unbelievably boring ” Annie
starts to think the problem might be her. Is it too late to become flirtatious and fun like the
leading ladies in her favorite romance movies? Maybe she only needs a little practice . . . and
Annie has the perfect person in mind to be her tutor: Will Griffin. Will—the sexy tattooed
and absolutely gorgeous bodyguard—is temporarily back in Rome providing security for Amelia
Rose as excitement builds for her upcoming marriage to Noah Walker Annie’s brother. He has one
personal objective while on the job: stay away from Annie Walker and any other possible
attachments to this sleepy town. But no sooner than he gets settled Will finds himself tasked
with helping Annie find the love of her life by becoming the next leading lady of Rome
Kentucky. Will wants no part in changing the sweet and lovely Annie. He knows for a fact that
some stuffy straitlaced guy won’t make her happy but he doesn’t have the heart to say no.
Amid steamy practice dates and strictly “educational” tutoring lessons Annie discovers there
are more layers to Will’s usual stoic attitude. As the lines of their friendship become
dangerously blurred Annie reconsiders her dream guy. Maybe her love life doesn’t need to be
perfect—it just needs to be real. Look for all of Sarah Adams’s When in Rome books: WHEN
