Up-and-coming makeup artist and single mom Arizona May is thrilled to be just a few months away from marrying the love of her life. Until then, she and her fiancé are committed to celibacy. But on the eve of Arizona's thirtieth birthday, they surrender to passion-and she discovers something about her Prince Charming that leads her to rethink their plans . . .
