Instead of a dream acting job (or any acting job), Garrett Reid now works under the alias “Mr. Rebound.” He shows the recently jilted how healthy romantic relationships are “supposed” to work—for profit, of course.

Arianne Reynolds lives a string of rapid-fire relationships that has left her jaded. Maybe it’s her constant travel as a reluctant wedding photographer. Maybe it’s the guys she picks. Maybe it’s because she’s six-and-a-half tall and isn’t afraid to wear heels or outdrink her potential suitors.

Under contract, Garrett draws up a certified plan to have Arianne rebounded in the space of six simple dates. Despite his patented lines and Rebound Rules—to which Arianne seems impossibly immune—they each find themselves (gasp!) opening up to the other. But as his perfectly planned dates turn to fire and ash (literally) and the specter of his crazy stalker ex threatens to blow up his pay-per-date confidentiality, Garrett must make a choice between his livelihood and coming clean to a woman who just might last a lot longer than six dates.
