Kay Winston is a muralist and a runner. Not a break-the-tape-at-the-finish-line runner, but at the first sign of relationship trouble, she's gone. No need to hang around for the post-mortem; no need to make the pain last any longer than necessary. She isn't a sadist. She's practical and can be packed in less than three hours. Since the age of eight, the place she runs to is Bell Harbor, Maine. Barrett "Bear" Coulter is more of a long distance runner. After selling his ex half of their architectural design business in LA, he ran until he literally ran out of land. Bell Harbor, Maine was a far as he could get and remain in the country. His friends said he was crazy. After all, what sane person moves to Maine in mid-February? Painting the lobby at the Bell Harbor Inn would come with some amazing benefits for Kay-financial independence, internship credits from the graduate school, and seeing its handsome, incredibly sexy owner on a regular basis. One important snag: "Whatever you do, don't sleep with the man!"
