Sex Appeal

Shadow is the proprietor of a shop that sells sexy goods. At first glance, she seems uninhibited and bold, but she's been hurt quite a lot in the past. Every seven years, she falls in love, and is inevitably hurt because of it. It's been seven years since her last painful love, and she knows that this year will have romance in store for her. Just as she expected, she finds her man of destiny-Brent is perfectly handsome, perfectly rich, and perfectly polite,: a high-quality man. On top of that, he has a great sense of humor! The two of them get close very quickly, but somehow something keeps getting in their way.
