Script for love

It’s not that Nora Hamilton doesn’t know what love is. It's literally in her job description – every day she sits down at her laptop and comes up with plots for romantic film scripts. She even manages to turn the breakdown of her own marriage into a film script – so brilliantly, in fact, that Hollywood itself expresses an interest in the material. What's more, the key scene of the story is going to be filmed right in her picturesque little house, and the male lead will be played by none other than the most sought-after acting idol of the moment, the handsome and sexy Leo Vance!

However, pampered stars have unpredictable whims. Leo decides that after filming wraps, he'd like to stay for another week, watch the magical sunrises, and just relax with Nora and her children. He's willing to pay handsomely for such an invasion of privacy. For a while, single mum Nora wouldn't have to worry about her mortgage and credit card. And besides, that special, longing glint in Leo's eyes is simply irresistible.

Just one week. Seven days. The blink of an eye, or an eternity, depending on how you look at it. Enough time for Nora to fall in love. Enough time to have her heart stolen.
