When Fran Caputo created the steamy erotic novel The Love Flower and its equally steamy author, the pseudonymous Nichole St. Michelle, she never envisioned having to introduce Nicki to her fans. The nomination of The Love Flower for a prestigious award, however, means that she will have to travel from her home in Nebraska to New York and that Fran will have to become Nicki, the free sexual spirit. It won't be an easy transformation. Fran is shy, not very attractive, and despite her previous marriage, sexually naive. But she must adapt to help The Love Flower win the coveted Madison Prize. Along the way she will meet both men and women anxious to climb into bed with the adventurous Nicki, some of whom are jealous authors anxious to keep her from winning the award. Fran must deal with men anxious to seduce, women eager to learn Nicki's secrets, and enemies of both sexes anxious to knock The Love Flower out of the contest. Will Fran be able to overcome her own inhibitions and discover her sexuality in order to become Nicki? And if she does, will she ever be able to change back?
