Wendy Walters yearns for the passion she finds between the pages of romance novels. Her life is not bad, just boring. When husband Ronnie forgets their wedding anniversary, Wendy stumbles into an affair with the rich and handsome Jake. All fairy tales must come to an end and even though Wendy discovers that Jake is not Prince Charming, hers still has a happy ending.
