“Say hello to the new, improved you.”
Dexter stared in the mirror at the image of the perfect man. He could hardly believe he was that perfect man.
“Now we just need to teach you how to kiss,” Kylie said.
Dexter’s jaw tightened. “I assure you I know how to kiss.”
Kylie cleared her throat. “Don’t take offense. I’m not criticizing you. It’s just…you’re not what I expected in a gigolo.” She grabbed a copy of How To Jump-Start Your Love Life. “According to the tutorial, there are three key components to the perfect kiss—proximity, pressure and pizzazz.”
“Let me see if I’ve got this. Proximity—” Dexter took a step closer to her. “Pressure.” His lips touched hers gently at first and then with increasing firmness. “Pizzazz.” And with a subtle movement she found herself pressed against him, her arms around his neck.
“Kylie, there’s one thing you should know….” Dexter lifted his head and gave her a searing look. “I’m a very fast learner.”
Dear Reader,
Have you ever had the urge to get a complete makeover? What if you didn’t have any choice in the matter? That’s what happens to Dexter Kane when Kylie Timberlake gets her hands on him. New clothes. New hairstyle. New look. But does that make him a new man? That’s for Dexter to decide, once Kylie transforms him from a gigabyte nerd into a bona fide babe-magnet.
Dexter’s brother Sam is forced into a completely different type of makeover—he’s supposed to impersonate a woman! Sam’s not sure he’s up to the job, especially when his sexy new roommate, Lauren McBride, constantly reminds him he’s very much a man.
The Kane brothers were so much fun to write. I hope you enjoy their unusual adventures on the road to true love.

Prologue
“I WANT YOU TO JUMP OUT OF the plane.”
Dexter Kane’s ears popped as the small airplane ascended into the sky. So he was certain he’d misunderstood his grandfather’s last words. “What did you say?”
Amos Kane smiled at his grandson. “I want you to jump, Dexter.”
Dexter glanced at his younger brother, Sam, who was flirting with a woman on his cell phone. An inveterate playboy, nothing could keep Sam away from the ladies, whether he was on the ground or in the air. “Time to hang up now, Sam.”
Sam held up two fingers, signaling for just a little more time.
Dexter turned back to their grandfather. “Did you forget to take your medication this morning?”
Amos shook his head. “I haven’t taken any of that crap for the last month. Made me tired and cranky. But I can see you’re a little confused, so maybe I’d better start from the beginning.”
“Good idea.” Dexter leaned back in his seat, his hands gripping the armrests. He hated flying. Hated the feeling of being out of control. That was one of the reasons he’d planned out his life so meticulously. After growing up with two parents who spent more time on their yacht in the French Riviera than with their sons, Dexter knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life.
For the last twenty-eight years, he had been willing to do anything and everything to inherit the family business conglomerate that his grandfather had started over forty years ago with the success of a simple board game. Dexter had started proving himself when he was fourteen years old, working as the office janitor at the Kane Corporation. From there he’d moved on to the mail room, then on to being a courier. After college, he’d started at an entry-level position in the accounting department, working nights and weekends before slowly and steadily ascending to management level.
