She’s a down-on-her-luck showgirl trying to make it in New York City.

He’s a wealthy nerd with a penchant for knitwear and honesty.

After bombing a last-chance audition, Kiwi Caroline Holliday accepts a sketchy job pretending to be an heiress to smear the reputation of a spoiled trust fund dudebro. She doesn’t count on the dudebro’s starchy, uptight, and way too-perceptive older brother.

Chase Sanford likes his rigid, orderly life. He’s principled. Good. Not the kind of man to let Caroline’s bratting get under his skin. There’s no way he will snap and bend her over the closest flat surface–no matter how much he wants to.

The sparkly burlesque babe thinks men are either stable or good at sex, never both; and the strict and stuffy ethicist can’t reconcile his desires with his values. But when Caroline’s scam spirals, Chase presents both the problem and the solution.

It’s fine, they’ll just rationalize their chemistry away.

That’s how that works.

EYE CANDY is an opposites attract spicy romcom, styled as BURLESQUE meets HUSTLERS meets PRETTY WOMAN; perfect for fans of IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER and ICEBREAKER.
