He'll oversee her project-if she acts the part of his loving fiancée. When the notoriously hot-tempered and hot-bodied Keely begs him for help, he proposes a crazy idea. Jack is this close to securing a career make-or-break project, until he learns his lack of marital status puts him out of contention. That means dealing with buttoned-down, uptight Jack. What she does need is a restoration specialist so she can open her physical therapy clinic-and prove she's left her wild-child days behind.
