When her best friend sets her up on a blind date with Lance Bakkar, Tatiana thinks this could be the thing to get her out there again. Except it isn't.
She's attracted to Lance from the start, but their first date is an absolute disaster.
Lance and Tatiana have a rocky start, and things only get rockier when Tatiana has trouble letting go of the past. They agree to just be friends, but can they both be satisfied with that? Tatiana wants more and she hopes he does, too. But can she really trust Lance the way she's trusted before? Is she willing to risk heartbreak to find love again?
