What do you do when you meet Mr. Right...at exactly the wrong time?
If you're Candace Reid, a Hollywood costume designer who's just agreed to marry her gay best friend, who's also the Sexiest Man Alive, you hope a fling will be enough!
When her Hollywood superstar GBF Tommy Shane asks her for a friendly marriage of convenience, Candace agrees to help him out. She loves him like a brother and would be devastated if being publicly "outed" ruined his Hollywood hotshot career. But when her grandfather is injured and she goes up to his decrepit winery to help him out, the last person she expects to meet is a gorgeous, grumpy groundskeeper who makes her heart pound and her knees shake.
What do you do when you want to disappear from the world...and it finds you by way of the hottest woman you've ever met?
If you're former L.A. prosecutor Oliver McKean, you try to steer clear and resist her by any means possible!
Candace Reid has brought a bit of Hollywood with her to this little corner of northern California, and that is the last place he wants to be reminded of. After whistleblowing on corruption in the D.A.'s office, Oliver's life imploded and he just wants to be left alone to figure out what comes next. And what comes next can't be an affair with a sultry blonde whose grandfather is the kindest man he's ever known!
But when you're trapped alone at a glamorous old estate and are forced together by violent storms, hairy spiders, and flying pots and pans, it's hard to remember why you can't be together.
Until Candace's fiancé arrives...
