About this listen
Popular romance author Margot Bradley has a secret: she doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, not even for her characters. When a super-fan leaks this to the world, Margot is dropped faster than you can say 'enemies-to-lovers.'
Her sister thinks she needs a change of scene and sends Margot off to a remote Alaskan cabin on a writing retreat that could be the perfect chance to say goodbye to romcoms and write something new - maybe swap meet-cutes for murder mysteries? But then she meets the handsome owner, Forrest:
She's a city girl; he's a lumberjack - of course he is.
He's grumpy - wait, is she sunshine? Oh no.
At least there's no forced proximity.
But that snowstorm is heading straight for their cabin...
As one trope after another draws them together over long snowy nights, one thing is clear: Margot and Forrest have landed in a romance novel of their very own. But will they each be able to overcome their fears, or risk becoming another of Margot's Happily Never Afters themselves...

Unbeknownst to everyone, Margot has lost faith in HEAs due to her own experiences. She decides to document her disillusionment with love on her computer. Her sister, who absolutely loves romance is her biggest champion, supports her.
Margot occasionally connects with her fans via a live stream with her agent. But sadly, someone leaks the file, which should have been kept private. This leads to Margot’s downfall, and she is in complete disbelief.
What should she do next? Her sister comes up with a plan. Margot is not happy with it, but once she takes care is in place for her sister, who has already booked the flight and everything else, Margot reluctantly agrees to go.
The destination is Alaska, a complete contrast to sunny California. There, she meets Forrest, the owner of the place. He is stern and lofty, but in her mind, he is just her type. However, she is off men. Forrest is there helping to look after his father, who is now wheelchair-bound, and to run the place.
Forrest instantly is attracted to Margot, but he has made a pact to stay away from guests after being burned. Meanwhile, Margot is trying her best to be off with him, and vice versa.
There are hilarious scenes as Margot, a romance writer, sees one trope after another with Forrest while he tries his best to suppress his feelings.
With Forrest caring for his father and Margot caring for her sister, if anything ever happened between them, it would just be for the holidays. But neither is interested. What does fate have in store for them?
I love the way Forrest takes care of his father, and the same with Margot with her sister. It’s more than just a romcom.
