Romancing the Nose

College dropout Kells Beckwith is uncertain about his future. His mother intervenes, giving him an unusual job prospect. Her friend, designer Wendy Hart, has launched her first fragrance. Unfortunately, the ‘nose’—the man who created her signature perfume—has died. None of the ‘noses’ Wendy hires to duplicate the haunting perfume can crack it. Kells, however, has an uncanny sense of smell that plunges him nose-first into the cutthroat world of high fashion. There, he meets Christophe Morisset, a legendary ‘nose’ and a very sexy man, who can't—or won't—reproduce the fragrance called “White Matinee.”

Despite initial friction, the men have a hot fling, but Kells soon learns it isn't easy romancing the ‘nose.’ Nevertheless, Kells can't get over the mercurial, sexy Frenchman who teaches him that the sense of smell doesn't come from the nose but from the brain.

Can Kells ever persuade Christophe to give him a chance, to think with his heart and not his brain? A future with Christophe may be impossible. Though the man never leaves Kells' mind, he's always just out of reach until they eventually meet again. Can Kells finally win the love he so desperately wants the second time around?
