After a disastrous weight-loss program and devastating divorce, self-help author and teacher Cassie Graham calls it quits—on diets and on men. So, when she meets reclusive restaurant owner Drake Henson—a man with gorgeous eyes, a sexy grin and a large appetite for food—Cassie knows exactly what to do. Run for cover.

Drake knows all about running. After years of distancing himself from his past and the challenges of raising his two younger siblings on the streets of DC, he enrolls in one of Cassie's classes to improve his social skills. But when he meets Cassie, she turns his world upside down.

For the first time in his life, Drake gets his first taste of true desire. Now, he must find a way to win Cassie's trust and convince her that only the size of her heart matters.
