Ruaridh, or Rory as his teammates call him, is all about rugby. But for all the wrong reasons. And that's why the sport has never clicked for him, no matter how how he trains, eats the right food, healthy smoothies, and then more training. His focus is absolute for the Traverse City Blues men's rugby team, yet he is failing his father miserably. Grace, a southern belle from Texas, has relocated to Michigan to get a new start on life, in her own words, to live deliberately, try everything new, don't give up or give in. It's not exactly what she had hoped for with a mediocre job just for the health care and the miserable winter weather, but when she moves into the Blues rugby house with Rory, things start getting interesting. Rory is all shades of screwed up, too intense, misdirected. Not that Grace has it all figured out either, but together they will come to know in time, they were made for each other.
