Life hasn't been easy for Pilates and yoga instructor Chloe Barrett. She works two jobs to keep afloat and fights her way through college, especially with Jimmy, her own personal dream smasher, thought-provoking-insulter, and professional-mansplaining boyfriend. She certainly does not believe in love, and happiness to her is nothing more than a mere decision. Fairytales are just not what life has in store for her, so why fight it?

But her well-crafted walls and fences may be cracking when her life collides with Will Allentown, CEO of Allentown Enterprise. A man who possibly read the guide to the ridiculously perfect man of the galaxy, or actually wrote it. A man who seems to have everything yet struggling. And for some unfathomable reason, he is also the new mysterious client who has committed to ten private Pilates sessions with Chloe, accepting her unintended challenge to get to know her better.

Because once he did - he would surely stay away.

What is a girl to do? Living with Jimmy is hard enough without the overwhelming feeling that she's missing out on ... other things. But maybe to realize what's truly bad for her, she needs to be reminded of what's good?

"Aiseman's psychological acuity shines, revealing how insidious and normalized emotional and mental abuse becomes over time ... Readers will find catharsis in Chloe's growth, elegant unfolding of self-recognition, and thrill of becoming someone she truly likes ... Unflinching look at emotional abuse wrapped in a hopeful love story." - BookLife Reviews

"Aiseman's colorful, evocative prose ably conveys both catty comedy ... and the tremulous buildup of passion ... Chloe is a winsome hero, hesitant, wary, and determinedly independent but suffused with quiet yearning; readers will root for her to land the right man. An entertaining love story featuring sharply etched, appealing characters with palpable chemistry." - Kirkus Reviews
