 One night in Vegas changes the luck of two strangers.

Grace is a good girl to the bone, though she loves her job as a teacher she wants some excitement and for her twenty-fifth birthday she wants to shed that good girl image. Not be predictable Grace but a sexy wanton vixen,so her friends take her to Las Vegas, where her life is changed forever.

Kevin is an NFL all star and all around player. He is in Vegas because he was told to lay low after sleeping with the wife of one of his team mates, he has to figure out a way to change his image and quick.

A'isha is a fashion designer by trade. Though she is in a business filled with superficial spoiled brats and air heads she is different. At 5’3 tall and what most would call a plus size girl she is far from the norm in her line of business, a tulip amongst roses. She shy’s away from the spot light and always has a kind word for everyone she meets her beauty shines from an inner light that refuses to be extinguished.

Elton is a prominent plastic surgeon. Making money from the insecurities of women and men alike in A’ishas line of business has been his way of life for many years. In every person he meets he can spot their flaws in an instant, but meeting A’isha changes his life. Opening his eyes to the possibility of someone who didn’t need to be changed in any way, someone dare he say it perfect.

When the two meet sparks fly and lives are changed forever.
