Madelaine Whitmore was the walking epitome of the word 'workaholic'. The embodiment of the phrase, "Work hard, don't play at all." It didn't exist, of course, but if it did, then you'll be sure she has it hanging up on the wall in her apartment. She never made the time to hang out with friends, drink after work hours with colleagues, and sometimes even skipped a few holiday vacations with the family. So when maddy suddenly collapses in the middle of work due to exhaustion, her older sister makes sure she has her rest and books her, the next earliest flight available to the middle of nowhere! Now stuck in a cabin in the middle of the woods, Madelaine has nothing to do and is this close to going insane. But what happens when one faithful stormy night of doing absolutely nothing, a big muscled man barges in through the front door, claiming this was his cabin and asks her to leave immediately, despite the raging winds outside? Will she resist the storm? Or let it sweep her off her feet? ONC 2025
