From the Back Cover:

"Unique situation for an attractive, well-mannered, morally flexible young man. Hours irregular. Pay generous. Discretion a must."

When struggling out-of-work actor Hughie Venables-Smythe sees the mysterious job description in the classifieds, he's convinced he's found his destiny. For, though he's become accustomed to running out of credit on his cell phone, sleeping on his sister's sofa, and begging the waitress at the local café to let him slide yet again on his bill, he longs to treat his lover--the sexy, sophisticated, and amorously ruthless lingerie designer Leticia Vane--to the finer things in life. But how is he to win her heart if he can't even pay for dinner? When he learns that his lucrative new position means flirting with married women who have been neglected by their spouses, he can't believe his luck.

Soon initiated into the extraordinary secret fraternity of the Professional Flirt, Hughie promises to have an exceptional career ahead of him. However, the life of a Flirt is a curiously lonely calling and there's one absolute rule his new employer has: he must remain single. Only--how can he live without the delicious Leticia Vane?

Surely there's nothing wrong with using a few of his newly polished romantic skills on the side to quietly seduce the woman he loves . . . is there?

As clueless as he is handsome, Hughie gamely decides to throw his already complicated life into utter chaos . . . and discovers exactly why a Flirt's professional and personal life should never mix.
