Summary
When Sonny Carisi and Rafael Barba end up each winning a grand prize at Diamond Doug's All-Dude Ranch and Resort, neither is prepared to see the other after two years. And they're especially not prepared for the same old feelings--the ones they each never said a word about for four years--to come flying back, as strong as ever.
Thank goodness that Diamond Doug's is a one and only world-class resort, full of amenities and fun, to keep their minds, eyes, and everything else busy, so they won't be thinking about each other.

Before long, both Rafael and Vanessa find themselves wondering how strong their marriage really is, and if it can withstand the shifting realities surrounding them.
