Olivia Kane is at her aunt's bar for a Halloween party with her best friend Tessa when she spots a real hunk across the room. Livi is naturally shy, and, dressed in a Twinkie costume, she is quite reluctant to approach him. But Tessa gets the ball rolling with Lt. Commander Mitch Donovan when she tells him that Livi can outdo him in push-ups. The bet is on, and everyone wants a piece of the action.

Livi is a renowned fitness instructor and personal trainer. She may be shy, but she has total confidence in the fitness of her own body. She goes head to head with Mitch for sixty seconds and they finish with a tie. The bet Tessa made on Livi's behalf is a kiss from Mitch if Livi won. Mitch's bet was a date with Livi. It would appear they are winners, but since Mitch ships out back to the east coast the next day, when will either of them collect on this bet?

As weeks past, Livi's manager works a deal for her to do a new fitness video based on the SEAL fitness routine. Livi and Mitch have talked over the phone, but not seen each other since the bet. When Livi goes to the naval base to talk over the plans for her video, she learns that her meeting is with none other than Mitch. He will be her go to guy to walk through the SEAL routine. This deal works well for both of them getting to spend time together until Livi's manager pushes things a little too far. Mitch thinks that Livi is manipulating him and his SEAL team with this video deal with the Navy. Livi is furious with her manager. Can their budding relationship stand the test of this business deal?
