With a dream job, great roommates and a wonderful boyfriend, Dean, Jane Williams has everything her heart desires - that is until her vicious social rival, Vanessa, finds out her most humiliating secret and sets about bringing her social whirl crashing down around her. Jane's terrible secret is that she works part-time as a waitress in a down-market pizza restaurant to fund an addiction to designer shoes and handbags. When Vanessa lets Dean's senator father in on the discovery, Jane is likely to lose not only the gorgeous Dean but also her hard earned social credibility. There's only one way for Jane to avenge herself: she's going to do exactly what Vanessa's done to her - take her man -- but the only problem is that she's still in love with Dean.

Kat Matthews believes life is an adventure, to be taken at leisure. When vacationing with her mother in Vale, Colorado, she meets an eccentric, rich couple who have a bizarre proposition. They want to hire her to date their son. And not just date him. They want her to train him in how to date so he'll continue doing so afterward. As payment, they dangle a once in a lifetime opportunity in front of Kat-the chance to have her photographs seen by the owner of the most prestigious art gallery in New York. Dr. Victor Richmond is as distracted with work as he is smart. He doesn't make time for women or dating. When Kat walks into his building, he just assumes she's his assistant. The man's clothes are a mess, his beard is too long and he looks like he's been up for days. And, to make matters worse-he's a bug scientist. Intrigued by the man she's meant to introduce to the dating world, but unsure as tohow she's going to do it when he doesn't seem to notice her, she agrees to take a job as his assistant. Working for Victor is anything but a dream. Sure, the photographs she takes are cool, but to Kat girls and bugs don't mix.
