Stefàn Cooper is a 33-year-old bachelor who has no desire to change his marital status.  Tall, muscular and strikingly handsome, Stefàn is so used to getting what he wants from the opposite sex that he has come to expect that he is taken aback by Charisse’s indifference to his charms. With the sincere, albeit cynical, voice of Charisse’s best friend, Myra, constantly in her ear, and the encouragement of Stefàn’s humble yet discerning running buddy, Julian, the couple embark on a cautionary friendship that quickly leads to an intense romance.

The path they travel together leads them on a journey that challenges the bravado Stefàn has held on to for most of his adult life and forces Charisse to see that God’s answered prayers don’t always come packaged the way we expect.
