Shelby, who had a relationship with her last boss that didn't end well, see's history repeating itself when her current boss takes her under his wing. He gives her projects that others are more qualified for, takes her to coffee, and for drinks after work. She also notices the looks and whispers from the other female employees who are noticing the same thing and she gets the cold shoulder. She thinks her only way to fix it is to show up at the company picnic with a "boyfriend".Shelby runs into Jake, the guy she's been noticing at her local coffee shop. They get to talking and she mentions her dilemma and he offers to help her. He doesn't do relationships but growing up with sisters he can't stand seeing a woman taken advantage of. At the picnic the story gets even more complicated. You have to read to find out if something real can come out of the charade, and if the complication is too much to overcome.I thought it was a cute story. Yes, some of it was predictable, but it didn't take away from the sweetness of the story. I liked how supportive Jake was. Not only with the problems at her job, but with the emotional situations involving her friends. Also, I LOVED her group of friends. They were hilarious!
