I may just end up running into his arms.Cole - When you co-own an outfitter that specializes in guiding white water rafters everyday is an adventure.

She said she came here to figure her life out without any distractions, at least not the romantic kind. But I love a challenge, I'm a thrill seeker. She needs a little excitement and I'm more than determined to be the one who interrupts her solitude.
