Joni James, a journalist and self-proclaimed hater of all things outdoors, is assigned to cover The Lyon's Den, a month-long retreat for women. Her boss expects a hit piece, and she plans to oblige as she's forced to spend thirty days with twenty other women in the mountains of Colorado. With her phone confiscated on the first day, and her attempt to sneak in wine thwarted, she hates all things Lyon--including the obnoxious, arrogant owner Kendall Lyon.

She finds herself on a team with four others, running obstacle courses and participating in scavenger hunts--two things she's convinced she'll loathe. However, the daily yoga sessions, the hikes, and the outdoor gym slowly begin to change her perception of the place and of Kendall Lyon.

As her attraction to Kendall grows, so does the dread of the hit piece she'll be required to write when her month-long stay is over.
