Broke, jaded and unceremoniously dumped by her doting boyfriend. That's the state in which Melody Woods returns to the place she spent a decade avoiding: her small hometown of Oakwood Bay.

Things go from bad to worse when Melody's twin brother talks her into a catastrophic end-of-summer camping trip. She finds herself stranded in the woods, awaiting rescue with only her brother's best friend for warmth-the very person she fled her hometown to avoid.

Years ago, a mistake cost him his chance with Melody, and college football coach Zac Porter can't blame her for wanting nothing to do with him now. While Melody hopes for a cut-and-dry see you never once they make it back to town, Zac-who's been quietly in love with her for years-becomes determined to prove they're meant to be.

Given their track record, Melody isn't convinced he's for real. Never mind that her brother would break Zac's nose if they ever got together, and that she's only in town long enough to get back on her feet after her break-up.

As for Zac, he's already facing an uphill battle trying to coach his team to its first winning game in years, or risk being forced into early retirement. Getting Melody to fall for him...

What's one more challenge, right?
