There she spies the ruggedly handsome man standing looking at books by one of her favorite authors. He tries a couple of pick up lines with her after being drawn to her. The initially don't work, but when they are thrown together in a limo for more than 2 hours things take a change for the better in his mind. She throws caution to the wind and decides that a one night stand with an amazingly good looking man will finally help to exercise the bad memories of her failed marriage.
