Duncan Shepherd believes in being adored, even by his new nanny. Marlow Spear has never met anyone like him, so shamelessly self-absorbed and shallow. His obsession with her plus size confirms her first impression--there's no depth there. And then she learns a secret that begins to change everything: Duncan is in love with his best friend's little sister, a woman completely out of reach. As Marlow vows to help Duncan become the kind of man Birdie might want, she begins to realize there's more to him than she first realized. But he made it clear he could never be interested in someone with a weight problem, and there's Marlow's own longterm boyfriend to consider. As they redo his house and the man himself, Marlow and Duncan both begin to uncover surprises, namely that love doesn't look anything like they first thought.
