In this vibrant, heart-racing romance from USA Today bestselling author Julia Connors, two strangers spend a weekend away from their real lives and give in to meet-cute temptation…but will their chemistry survive the reality check coming their way?

Between the scandal of a public breakup and his responsibilities as CEO of his family’s pro hockey team, Tucker Hartmann’s life is a mess. A weekend away at a remote ski chalet will help him reset his priorities.

But when a double-booking traps him with a beautiful stranger during a snowstorm, Tucker decides this is the kind of mess he doesn’t mind.

Paige Manning is a successful business consultant by day, and a bestselling romantasy author by night. When her latest cliff-hanger backs her into writer’s block, she hopes a long weekend alone will get the words flowing again.

What she doesn’t expect is an unbearably handsome housemate who proves to be an invaluable muse.

They’re both hiding behind fake names and false pretenses, but the connection forged that weekend is genuine.

When they return to Boston and discover their real lives have them at odds, Paige and Tucker will have to decide if their connection is stronger than the secrets keeping them apart.
