Grace has spent her life protecting herself from emotional pain. She's a workaholic with few friends and fewer dates. But despite her devotion to her job, she falls victim to a corporate layoff.
Escaping to the slopes to ski away her troubles, she's relentlessly pursued by the model-gorgeous ax man Royce. Finally she challenges him to a ski race: if she wins, he leaves the resort, and if he wins, she has to have dinner with him. The unexpected result of the race leaves Grace reeling in a romance that brings her walls crashing down.
But when someone sets fire to her old office and casts the blame in her direction, will she be willing to trust Royce, or will she retreat to the safety of her defenses?
