Journee Barclay isn't interested in the big, hulky football player the town of Mistletoe wants her to date. She's been writing to a sweet, shy computer geek and she's hoping he'll eventually ask to meet her. But putting the town off is getting to be more difficult every day.

Football star Dante Tolzien came to the town of Mistletoe, Arkansas to rest and recover from his recent car accident on the advice of his doctor. While in the hospital, he enjoyed writing to a secret pen pal. While a part of him would love to meet his unknown friend, another part of him is more interested in the real live nurse in front of him.

Unfortunately, she seems to be stuck on a man no one has ever met.

When Journee and Dante are entered in Mistletoe's own Not-Such-An-Ironman contest together, sparks fly. But can they let go of their pen pals in order to pursue a relationship with each other?
