A former ice figure skater, Francie Piccard must make a decision. Should she resume her training with the partner who betrayed her and try for a gold medal? Or should she stay on as manager of the Roller Fun roller skating rink and try to convince the owner, Noah Gordon, not to sell it?

Persuading Noah to stay in Gettysburg until Valentine's Day isn't as difficult as Francie expects. But is he staying because of the rink, her family's hospitality, or the attraction between them? Should Francie hold onto an old dream or chase a new one? Noah travels in his business. Since childhood, he hasn't stayed in one place very long. Francie is the type of woman who leads a man to plant roots. Maybe he should take a risk, trust Francie and let himself fall in love. But he's been burnt before and risking his heart isn't something he intends to do. ...Unless Francie can change his mind.
