Charley Abbott thinks she has exhausted her romantic options in small-town Butler, Vermont. She has been out with nearly every available man under thirty-five, but one persistent suitor remains off-limits. Tyler Westcott keeps asking her out, but Charley refuses because he irritates her with his presumptuous attitude. When Tyler joins her marathon training group, Charley considers abandoning her running goals just to avoid him. Tyler sees past Charley's sharp edges and cold responses. He believes a caring woman exists beneath her defensive exterior, and he wants her in his future. During training, Charley gets hurt. Tyler seizes this opportunity to show her that her ideal partner has been pursuing her all along. Their forced proximity during her recovery creates the chance Tyler needs to break through her resistance and prove his devotion.
