Sylvie Proulx's Valentine's date is the official Gold Medal finalist of the Douche Olympics. Her day gets topped off when the love of her life enters the restaurant/bar with his date for the night. Paul Banfield is on a blind date for Valentine's Day. When a ruckus distracts him, he sees the love of his life, Sylvie, rushing from the restaurant. It's been two years since he's seen her and her pull hasn't waned. Will these fated lovers get their chance at happily ever after, or will a death-bed promise by Sylvie's alpha keep them apart and suffering for the rest of their lives?

Sylvie Proulx has a very proper, professional life, where every second is scheduled and each mouthful of food carefully documented and exercised away. But a woman has needs. So she discreetly requests a 1NS date from Madame Eve, only to be paired with a free-spirited cowboy from Freewill, Wyoming with a thing for steak. Paul Gaines needs a sponsor for the national rodeo circuit and travels back to Vegas to seek out a meeting. He needs a date to the fancy party, and calls on a dating service he's known for a long time, expecting a night of fun and companionship. But the more he discovers about Sylvie, the more he wants to cover her in crème brûlée and teach her how to ride a horse. Sylvie has very careful boundaries, and Paul only has one night to convince her to give him a tomorrow.
