So, when she crosses paths with Mr. Charisma, Lennox Davenport, while on a business trip out of town, she''s open to spending the night with the handsome stranger.

Or will her toxic habits resurface to sabotage yet another chance of finding real love with the man who has finally managed to behold her beauty within?
