Why these tropes fit

In small-town Rome, Kentucky, flower shop owner Annie Walker searches for her perfect match after a date calls her 'unbelievably boring.' Bodyguard Will Griffin, temporarily in town providing security for a celebrity bride-to-be (Annie's brother's fiancée), is tasked with transforming Annie into the next 'leading lady' through educational practice dates and tutoring. The stoic, tattooed Will and the sweet, lovely Annie grow closer as their friendship blurs into something more, forcing Will to confront his personal objective of avoiding attachments in the sleepy town while Annie reconsiders whether her dream guy needs to be perfect or simply real.
