Down-on-his-luck Hollywood actor, Vincent Taylor, crashes on a snowy mountain road. He lands in a strangely familiar gothic mansion turned bed-and-breakfast to lick his wounded pride and wait out the storm. Except, when he checks in, he runs into the spiky Danica Novak, who isn't interested in his problems.

Danica knows Vincent is a spoiled tourist brat with no idea how the real world (or a snowstorm) works. And she's determined to resist his trademark smolder. But once he discovers that her mother authored his favorite book series, he enlists her help convincing Evelyn to sign the rights over. Knowing her family needs money—and that it's her fault—Dani agrees. But the closer they become, the harder it is to keep their hands off each other.

Then Evelyn gives her terms. Vincent is left with an impossible choice: his dreams or his heart?
