Lexie Marshall posts an advertisement seeking a friendly companion for her TransAmerica Trail cycling journey. She receives Tom Geiger instead, a solitary man with a surly demeanor who threatens to ruin the adventure she has planned for years. His sister forced him into this cycling arrangement against his wishes. Tom wants nothing to do with a talkative woman who follows maps religiously, and he fights his attraction to her. Despite his efforts to maintain distance, he finds himself drawn to Lexie on her bicycle. His resistance crumbles when a single kiss ignites passionate nights together across their route. The physical connection between them burns hot as they traverse the country on two wheels. When their cycling adventure concludes, both must confront what their intense relationship means beyond the trail.
