Publisher Description
From the author of The Reunion, a cozy rom-com about a writer who decamps to a Vermont lodge for work but finds herself distracted by the charming ski instructor next door.
Alix Morgan just got her big break as the ghostwriter of a memoir by Sebastian Green, a former member of the boy band True North. And when he offers her a penthouse at a luxurious resort in Vermont, she jumps at the chance to work far away from her noisy, cramped apartment.
Her career as an entertainment journalist has been building toward this dream job—after all, she used to cover True North and was one of the last people to interview former front man Jett Beckett before he disappeared. As she combs through her client’s voice memos, the specter of the missing lead singer remains, and fans are desperate to know the full story.
But Alix also has time for some fun at this glamorous resort, where she begins ski lessons with a handsome instructor named Tyler. As Alix and Tyler fall in love on the slopes, Alix’s work takes a complicated turn—and the mystery of True North’s downfall may be hers to solve.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Olson (The Reunion) delivers a cozy insta-love story against the scenic backdrop of a Vermont ski resort. Alix Morgan has secluded herself at Black Maple Lodge to finish ghostwriting the memoir of former boy band member Sebastian Green. Eight years ago, Green's bandmate and rival, Jett Beckett, vanished from the public eye and the world is eager to hear Geen's take on what happened. Alix was the last person to interview the egotistical Jett before he disappeared and suspects she might have encouraged his retreat. Her writing would go smoother if Green would respond to any of Alix's texts and calls—and if she weren't so distracted by her hot ski instructor neighbor, Tyler Fox, who shows her around the surrounding mountains. The pair are immediately besotted, which will put off readers who prefer a slower burn, and the truth about Tyler's mysterious past—and how it connects to Alix's present—is easily guessed. There's not much depth to be found here, but as a quick, wintry outing it works just fine.
