Disappointed by being passed over on a project, Sabrina goes out after work to drown her sorrows. At the bar, she meets a Brazilian businessman, who's visiting the city to acquire a hotel property. Their liaison begins there and is the start of a satisfying month-long relationship. Things go smoothly, but there are complications in Sabrina's life that she's not willing to talk about until they threaten to spoil her prospects for the future.I enjoyed the banter between Sabrina and Reynaldo at their initial meeting. Ms. Diamond did a great job of conveying his attractiveness and the spark between himself and Sabrina.I like the fact that these characters cut right to the chase and that the writer includes a problematic situation that doesn't seem contrived. This novella left me wanting to read Second Chances, to see how their relationship develops.
