Twenty-two year old Samantha Banks has been a fan of football player Blake Stemmons for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, she's not his only fan. After waiting more than an hour for an autograph, she walks away empty-handed. It turned out that Blake wasn't the man Samantha thought he was.
When a mugger finds her alone and vulnerable in the parking lot, Samantha's screams for help are answered by none other than Blake Stemmons. In an odd twist of fate, Blake appears when Samantha would rather not see him. Sorry for running out before she got her autograph, he asks her on a date. She turns him down, eager to head home and go back to her mundane, predictable life. This isn't a fairytale, after all.

But Blake Stemmons isn't the kind of guy to take "no" for an answer. When he sends flowers to her work, Samantha is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Does she keep turning him down and save her heart, or risk a broken heart to live out her fantasy?
