I’m not a guy who likes to leave the forest much. But I’m driving my grandad’s bus route, while he’s having a hip operation. If I don’t, he’ll lose the career he's loved for 50 years. I’m happy to help the old man out, but it’s a pain in my ass…endless hills, the bus wheezing and spluttering…whining customers…. Then she clambers on, and I know why fate threw this good deed my way.

I’m stuck on a wilderness hiking trip with my sister and her bitchy besties. That’s okay, I can deal. As long as we don’t get eaten by a bear. But when they break into the cabin of a celebrity who’s gone all crazy-mountain-man, I want no part of it. Which is just too bad, because I’m the one he catches. He’s all fierce and scary. And naked. But the look he gives me is not so much angry, as...fixated?

I'm being sold to my father’s biggest creditor to pay off his debts. Why the heck did I agree to such a thing? Because they promised to spare my sister, and I made a deathbed promise to my mom to always keep her safe. So, I’m resigned to my fate. As long as I get to spend one last weekend at my late Grandma Jo’s little mountain cabin—the place where I felt closer to my dreams than I’ll ever be again. Four days of peace and solitude, before my life is no longer mine.
