It’s meant to be a girl’s getaway, but when I get there early and my best friend, Millie, misses her flight, I’m sure the trip is destined to be a disaster.
Matters are made worse when I find out the cabin isn’t empty, as we thought.
Instead, there’s a six and a half foot silver-haired giant living there, with ripped abs and muscles for days. I’m captivated when we meet, unable to take my eyes off him.
Then he tells me who he is.
Roman Robinson, the reclusive best-selling writer who has never shown his face in public – the millionaire who just so happens to be my best friend’s dad.
I console myself with the fact this forty-two year old experienced man would never be interested in a twenty year old virgin like me. Roman might not seek celebrity, but a man with his looks and money can do better than a dorky inexperienced virgin.
But then a storm strikes, the worst of the decade, trapping us in the cabin by the lake. It’s just me and him and the most adorable little doggie ever, Tanker.
As the rainy and thundery days pass, it becomes more and more difficult to ignore my desires. Stranded with nothing to do, I start to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Roman might feel the same way.
When he claims me in the most feral and possessive way a man can, there’s no more room for doubt.
He wants me just as badly as I want him.
But surely it can never work. I might be a theatre student, but I avoid drama in real life at all costs. Millie is my closest friend.
What the heck is she going to do when she finds out about me and her dad?
I never thought I’d say this. But I’m starting to hope this storm never ends.
