Finn Miller doesn't do social. He works his IT job from home as often as he can to avoid people. If it weren't for his weekly training sessions at Ringside Gym, he might never leave his apartment. And he only does that because of Leo, the gym member he's in love with. When Finn gets talked into attending a speed dating fundraiser at the gym, his greatest wish is to have the courage to try to say something — anything — to Leo.

Justin McCormick has spent most of his adult life being used, whether playing a corporate heavy, or acting as guard dog for his ward. So when he leaves Vancouver for a fresh start in Toronto, he doesn't quite know what to do with himself.

The moment Justin sees Finn at a speed dating event, he knows there's no way he'll make it without a little help, so he offers to coach Finn on the art of conversation. What he doesn't count on is his unexpected attraction to this shy boxer, or his fear that if Finn gets his way, Justin might lose out on his best chance at love.
