Mitchell Stone has had it! No more Mr. Nice Guy. Sick and tired of dates that end with a pat on the back, heβs decided itβs time to even his odds with the ladies and become the type of man they really seem to want: a mysterious, mischievous, deceitful Dog! With the help of his βPlayerβ instructors, Tony and Trey, heβs dipping his toe into a stream of booty calls, baby-mamas, and sexual spin, winning over every woman who crosses his path!
Nikki Coleman has had it, too! The men in her life have been good for one thing: disappointment. Thereβs her high school sweetheart, Barry, a successful attorney who got someone else pregnant and derailed Nikkiβs early hopes of marriage. Then thereβs Jomo, a guitarist whoβs great in bedβexcept Nikkiβs not the only one heβs great in bed with. Thereβs Mitchell Stone, an old friend and fellow executive at her record company, whoβs handsome but just a little too nice. Last but not least, thereβs her father, Gene Coleman, who took a few years to acknowledge that, yeah, sheβs his. Now that a case of sexual harassment has Nikki on the verge of losing her job and with it her entire career in the music industry, the lack of a strong man in her life is even more painful. She can survive on her own, but in her heart she wants a Mr. Right to stand by her side and help her ride out the storm.
Meanwhile, Mitchell is well on his way to becoming a real Player. With his handbook of βDog rulesβ and a new, swaggering style, heβs attracting women left and right. Heβs even got Nikki reconsidering their just- friends status. But has this Dog bitten off more than he can chew? And will Mitchellβs newfound womanizing ways come back to bite him before he and Nikki find true love?
