'Valerie Pickles is an aspiring author and a hopeless romantic: hopeless with a capital 'H' because her boyfriend has dumped her for the girl next-door – literally. With a severe case of writer's block, she would do just about anything to escape the sound of their sex marathons through the thin adjoining wall of her bedroom – even become a chalet girl alongside her best friend, Gemma.

'French, Leo Coultier, is a hard-nosed businessman and serious workaholic: serious with a capital 'S' because he hasn't got time to mess around. But he would do anything for the sister he adores, even agree to host her fiancé Josh's stag party week at his luxury chalet … what better way to sabotage the relationship.

'Méricoeur is an idyllic ski town nestled in the French Alps. Idyllic until Leo arrives accompanied by a stag party.

'It's only a week. What could possibly go wrong?

'Except Valerie can't ski and has rather limited survival skills, especially where Leo Cloutier is concerned; and Leo doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell when it comes to breaking all his resolutions and the sweet temptation that is Valerie.'
