When Emmanuelle Peroni's father – and mayor of her town – asks her to help rehab Cooper Endicott's image, she's horrified. Cooper drives her crazy in every way possible. But he's also her father's protege, and she can't say no to him without him finding out the reason why: Cooper and her have a messy past. So Emmanuelle reluctantly launches her father's grand plan to get this Casanova someone to settle down with and help him lose his Lothario reputation. Cooper Endicott wanted to run for mayor, but he never wanted the drama that went with it. Now that he's on the political hamster wheel, the other candidates are digging up everything from his past. Even though he's doing all the right things, his colorful love life is the sticking point for many of the conservative voters. He wants to win, badly, and he knows that if he wants any chance of getting a vote from the female population, he needs to change his image. The only problem? He might just be falling in love with the one person he promised not to pursue: the Mayor's off-limits daughter.
