Jake's as suave as he is successful, and ten years her junior. Venus's job is to create a marketing campaign for his urban wear. Jake's job, it seems, is to distract her from her long-distance romance with Airic. But when Venus's mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, her entire world seems to crumble. Everything she thought would make her happy- her new look, her successful career, her fiancé- can't stop the sadness and emptiness she feels. Before she throws in the towel, she's offered one more chance, a chance for change, for growth, and maybe even for a new love. Will she take it?
