Beth Stephens, paramedic and director of Emergency Medical Services for the small rural hospital, meets KJ on a hike in the Rockies. They go their own ways, but somehow keep running into each other. Hannah, Beth’s ex who moved out of state a year ago, surprises her with a new girlfriend, dispelling Beth’s idea that they could continue a long-distance romance.

During a financial crisis at the medical center, Beth and KJ become closer and acknowledge their mutual attraction. Unable to deny their romantic chemistry, KJ needs to confront and heal the homophobic abuse her family heaped upon her long ago before she can give herself to being out and proud in Colorado. Beth, nursing her broken heart, is wary of trusting another woman who may not be able to share all of herself.

Set against the lush backdrop of rural Colorado, KJ and Beth ride the rough trails of their histories seeking a lasting bond, hoping to heal their wounded hearts.

THE LONG SHOT

The main problem is that the reserved golfer treats Adrienne’s plan like an invasion of privacy. The other issue is her growing feelings for the irritatingly attractive woman – an unprofessional lapse that would get her ridiculed by her peers if anyone found out.

It quickly becomes clear that fate intends to throw the two of them together, whether they like it or not.
