When a workaholic ER nurse grudgingly takes her first vacation in two years, then ends up spending it with a laid-back, famous actor who turns her world inside out, could one week of holiday fun lead to a lifetime of love?

Who doesn’t love going on holiday? Me. It’s easier to ignore the voids in my life when I’m working. After two years without missing a day, the hospital administrator caught up with me, then forced me to take time off. Not only am I on mandatory, unwanted vacation, I don’t have an excuse to avoid the very specific trip my mom left me in her will—a week at the Virginia resort where she met my dad. 

My plan to hunker down and avoid people is upended the moment I step inside my cabin—and come face to face with a man whose fully exposed attributes definitely weren’t on the list of attractions at Mountain Ridge Resort. Though they should be. They really should.

Even if I wanted to find a love match, Eli wouldn’t be it. He’s infuriatingly cocky. So laid-back it makes me twitchy. He’s also annoyingly likable, borderline irresistible, and apparently, quite famous. We’re total opposites. We’re not even from the same country. Love isn’t on either of our itineraries, but if I follow Eli’s lead, this week may be the time of my life after all.

ELI
After wrapping my tenth season as one of television’s most popular fictional doctors, I have one week to unwind before jumping into a movie role. When I told my assistant to book me a quick getaway, I thought I’d be jetting off to the tropics. Instead, I’m at a rustic Virginia lodge. Not the kind of fun I had in mind.

My vacation gets more interesting when a woman barges in while I’m in the raw, then accuses me of being in her cabin. She doesn’t know who I am. Isn’t impressed by my charm. She’s not the only beautiful woman at Mountain Ridge Resort, but she’s the only one I want to spend the week with.

Until now, my career is the only thing I’ve ever taken seriously. As the clock ticks down, I don’t want Chloe to return to Canada and a life without me. Somehow, I have to convince her that this week wasn’t just the time of our lives, it was the beginning of our life together.
