Romance author Margot Bradley has a dark secret: she doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters. When she finds herself canceled by her readers and dropped by her publisher, Margot decides to trade meet-cutes for murder. The fictional kind. Probably. But during a six-week stay in a remote Alaskan resort to pen her first murder mystery, Margot finds herself running from a moose and leaping into the arms of the handsome proprietor, Forrest Wakefield. As long snowy nights draw Margot and Forrest together, they'll each have to learn to overcome their fears and set aside their assumptions before Margot leaves - or risk becoming a Happily Never After story themselves.
