Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Sara is in the midst of making plans for her wedding to popular radio DJ Robert when she stumbles into a passionate affair. Having been single for four years, Katherine falls for her ex-boyfriend, Nick, who walked out on her and his friends four years ago. Then there is Nina, a playgirl who hardly ever wakes up with the same woman twice—until she takes a ride in Ella’s taxi cab. She finally meets her match and surrenders to love, but not without first putting up a fight.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
