Plot Summary of No Strings Attached
"Chloe Zuniga is a VP of Girl Gear. The company wants her to tone down her image as a party girl who will go out with anyone. She asks her close friend Eric Haydon, a jock and bar owner, to be her steady date for three company events. He agrees if she will grant him three wishes. She tells him no sex then promptly breaks her own rule. Afterward, she panics because her emotions are getting involved. She is afraid that he will rule her life like her father did when she was young. She wanted a sports profession but her father overruled her and made her choose the more feminine fashion design career. She fights her growing feelings for Eric and tries to decide if her career is for her. Eric loves her and must convince her that they are right for each other.
