Nellie Sullivan is doing her best to remain positive about her upcoming week. Venturing to a remote ski resort for her cousin's wedding could almost be considered a vacation, if not for the fortune she was spending on making desserts and the fact her ex-boyfriend was going to be there. But the tartest cherry on top, the cherry that really makes her want to throw in the kitchen towel, is that her one reprieve-an adorable cottage she found on Airbnb-has been double-booked.
Theodore Kline was looking to surprise his friends on their annual trip to Maple Falls. A trip he's skipped out on since his wife passed seven years ago. But the few peaceful days he'd planned to have before joining his friends have vanished with the arrival of Nellie, leaving both of them with the question: who gets to keep the cottage?
With everywhere else booked and the snow not letting up anytime soon, Nellie offers a tentative plan to share the cottage until her family arrives. But things never go as planned for Nellie, and one night turns into two, then three. Theo doesn't complain, even when Nellie's cousin mistakenly believes him to be her new boyfriend, which makes her eager to learn more about him. As the week passes, the two fall into an easy rhythm. One that makes their dreaded week turn into one they're not so sure they want to end.
