It will test your endurance.

It will test your strength.

It will test ... your heart.

When winning is everything ... can two competitors walk away from the real prize?

At 45, Rachel's given up on love. Competition ended all her relationships, and she's fine running her race alone.

At 38, Evan's given up on love. He's just not the commitment type, and he's declared himself retired from trying.

When Rachel, a teacher and obstacle-course racer, and Evan, a former English soccer star, meet as competitors in The Golden Crucible endurance race, winning is the only thing on their minds. She needs the prize money for her students; he needs the publicity to boost his reputation.

But pushing physical and mental limits side by side with your rival for hours-for days-means getting to know that person, inside and out, really damn well.

Well enough to start feeling. To start caring. To start questioning everything.

And to start wondering if love is worth fighting for, after all.
