All of her career dreams have come true. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of building a name for herself, she’s forgotten one important thing... love. Shayla comes to realize that all that success doesn’t mean much with no one to share it with. She heads to North Carolina for vacation. While there, she makes eye contact with a sexy runner on the beach. He returns her gaze but keeps on running. His name is Robert Calen. Robert is back home, recuperating from a gunshot wound earned while fighting in Afghanistan. Usually, Robert would have stopped and said hello to the lovely lady on the beach, but something was different about her ... something that made him uneasy. When the two meet face-to-face in a local restaurant, they can’t avoid the extreme sexual tension. Shayla is prepared to take on a vacation fling, but is it only that? Robert loves beautiful women, but is he ready to do the long-distance thing, so soon after returning from combat? Two people are about to get a serious priority adjustment as they must decide if they are ready for true love and all the responsibility it brings.
