The Case: Casually bump into Valentina Ford. Take her out. Be a jerk. And then she’ll go running off to daddy’s perfect match. Easy peasy. The Mark: Valentina Ford, 28, headstrong, too beautiful for her own good, enjoys trashy reality tv shows. Has a wild side. The Problem: The second I meet Valentina Ford, she kisses me. And I know nothing about this case is going to be easy. I’m Sam Valenti. The eldest of the Valenti Four. Yes, I have three other brothers who are even crazier and hotter-headed than me. The teachers just loved us in school. I run The Valenti Brothers Fix-It agency. There is no problem too big or small that we won’t attempt to fix. I’ve found cheating husbands, lost dogs, and even procured a recipe book from a little old lady for a large culinary corporation. But now I’ve gotten my weirdest case yet. I have to date an impertinent sassy brunette. But there’s a twist, I have to be the biggest jerk she’s ever dated. It’s an unusual case, for sure, but one that I’m willing to take on, for the money he’s offering. It should be a piece of cake. But then I meet Valentina Ford and I know instantly that nothing about this case is going to be easy. Not one single thing.
