Lale Deniz is grieving - she has lost the one person in her life that she was closest to and that understood her the most, her brother Tarkan.  She begins acting out and becomes self-destructive.  At a loss with how to help her, Lale's parents send her to spend time with Emre (Tarkan's twin) & Elle to help with the new baby.  Instead of helping, Emre makes it worse because it only continues to remind Lale how much she misses Tarkan - because even though Emre may look exactly like him, they are completely different.  Elle once again steps in and sends Lale to Vegas on a getaway, secretly setting her up with the 1 Night Stand dating service.I really enjoyed getting to know Lale and her date/love interest Andreas Michos, who is a former NFL star.  They clash from the start because she's Turkish and he's Greek.  When you add in that he is a Dom and she clearly doesn't see herself as a submissive - the sparks fly.  What he shows her is how to let go, turn her mind off and for a few minutes & give control to someone else.  I liked Lale & Andreas together, but I didn't connect with him like I thought I would.  I think that was simply due to the fact that this was a short story and I wanted more time to explore their dynamic together.  They did get their HEA which they deserved given what they'd each been through.  Great sweet & short read!
