Nine months ago, Kate issued a challenge to Reed, to see who could plan the better date. What started as a game has gained a life of its own, with friends, relatives, and even strangers now joining the competition. As winter descends upon Boulder, Kate plans a quiet date to Phoenix, where she will introduce Reed to her family, unaware that her military brothers have their own objective. Wanting to measure Reed's caliber, they will put a weapon in his hands and point him toward a target, one he already wants to punish. If he survives the Brothers Date, Reed will bring Kate to a cabin with his own family. A train ride through snowy mountains will be magical, but a surprise awaits their arrival. Reed's mother has her own date to Christmas dinner, a man who is not who he seems. To make matters worse, Reed's snarky sister is itching for a fight, and Kate is not one to back down. Facing the greatest to their relationship, Reed and Kate will realize that life wants to pull them apart. Can their love keep them together?

For three years Reed has dated a different girl every week, planning each night to inspire a sense of excitement and wonder. For the students at the University of Colorado, his dating style is rapidly becoming legendary, despite his singular rule. No physical contact. He keeps his distance to avoid complications, but none know the truth of his crusade, or the promise he is compelled to keep. Then he met Kate. Beautiful and intriguing, Kate harbors a subtle courage that commands attention. Unable to deny the sparks on their first date, Reed retreats from the desire she elicits and does not ask her out again. But his plan crumbles when she does what he least expects, and extends her own invitation. Reed may be the professional but he has just met his match, and the challenge has just begun.

With their dating challenge heating up, Reed imagines a future with Kate, but a haunting secret could tear them apart. As he wrestles with the truth, he cannot deny the game. Roommates, friends, and family have all been enlisted, their help leading to even grander dates. With Reed holding back, Kate wants to move forward, and the dates she has planned will prove why she's worth the risk. Her chance will come when Reed's car breaks down, leaving them stranded and alone. Although afraid of the answer, she will ask him to make a choice, hold to a promise from the past, or yield to the promise of a future. In the end Reed will turn to a date idea he has never used, afraid it would demonstrate feelings he didn't possess. What he feared is now what he needs, and Kate is what he wants. With the fate of the challenge hanging in the balance, Kate will discover that fireworks are not always in the sky . . .
