Eldest of three sisters, April Raine was pregnant and married at eighteen. Divorced ten years later, April has struggled to provide for her children. Now a successful businesswoman, she accepts a challenge from a daytime talk show to compete in a thirty-day battle of the sexes against a television psychologist who claims her organization hurts the very people she claims to help.

Dr. Jefferson Prentiss, television's Dr. Jeff, is haunted by the loss of his wife, his newborn son, and his role in their deaths. To atone, he's dedicated his professional life to the ideals of family. The talk show challenge presents him an opportunity to prove not only the sagacity of his self-help book, but the inherent danger of paying strangers to perform those family tasks that should be done out of love and consideration.

Once inside an isolated cabin filled with videotaping equipment, April and Jeff learn from each other, tackle their demons, and discover a new awareness between them. When the dust settles, who'll come out on top? The doctor? The mom? Or will love prevail?

After the death of her husband, professional competitive skier Brooklyn Raine has shunned the press. Living as Lyn Hill, bed & breakfast owner in a quaint Vermont mountain town, Brooklyn keeps a low profile and avoids any link to her former celebrity status. Now, her famous older sister has arrived with her children and fiancé in tow, and the spotlight threatens to burn bright on Brooklyn once again.

Sports reporter Douglas Sawyer sustained a devastating loss in Iraq and no longer cares about his career, much less his future. At the insistence of friends and family, he becomes the first civilian participant in Ski-Hab, a winter sports rehabilitation program for war veterans and amputees. After he discovers that pushy Lyn Hill is actually former ski star Brooklyn Raine, his instincts sense the perfect storyline to thrust him back into the journalism world. Despite interference from other skiers, the local cab driver, and Brooklyn herself, Doug is determined to chronicle the life of the former ski champ.

But when their secrets are revealed, each will face a hard choice. Will Brooklyn and Doug abandon the easy trail to take a chance on the more challenging slope to love?
