As the last unmarried daughter in her family, Gera has only one choice left—a trip to the Crossroads to find a mate before her sister's wedding seems like a good idea.

Riox has been at the Crossroads helping his brother set up the new bed and breakfast. He was there to assist and to flirt with all the pretty ladies.

Meeting the first guest surprises him. Instead of the fun-loving females he had already met, Gera is shut down and solemn. The worst thing is she is immune to his charms.

At his brother's urging, he offers to help the young lady get prepared to go into battle, and once he helps her choose some heels, his fate is sealed.
