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.
