Interviewing Gentleman Jack is the opportunity of a lifetime, the interview that could launch my career. But it becomes so much more than that. Gentleman Jack, the city’s Magic Mike, agrees to an interview with Phylana Monroe on one condition. She must make it through a date with him without using her safe word. Except, he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. He thinks he can scare the designer-dressed diva into running for the hills and freeing him from an interview he doesn’t want. But Phylana gives as good as she gets, and while she looks a-ma-zing in her thigh-high Louboutins, she doesn’t mind getting them dirty. Jack is used to women only wanting him for one thing: his body, not his mind. Opening up to Phylana is more enticing than he expected it to be. But being vulnerable means risking getting hurt, and he can’t let anyone else in only to watch them walk away. Plus, is Phylana really ready for someone like Jack and his baggage to invade her perfect life? He only gives her three dates to find out. The clock’s ticking.

Designing dating apps is easy, it’s just code. Keeping your heart safe while using a dating app? That’s a whole other code to crack. Cherry Payne used to have less than nothing. Now she’s living in an exclusive apartment with a group of high-powered women she calls friends. The cost of their friendship? Just promise to look but don’t touch their resident eye-candy Nevin Leetsdale. It’s an easy agreement until she meets him, and now she can’t stop fantasizing about the overly polite, sexy nerd who keeps popping up wherever she goes. He’s a gorgeous distraction, but one she can’t afford while her app Boyfling is up for competitive funding. This is her one-way ticket to ensure she never goes hungry again and nothing will get in her way. But she can’t deny the passion brewing between them. So, they both agree to one week, no-holds-barred, anything-goes relationship to get each other out of their systems. But when they meet in the middle, they get more than they bargained for and learn they have a lot more in common than just their apartment building. Can a woman afraid of commitment and a man who loves to love find their happy medium, or there a flaw in their design?
