The day after Christmas, Lucas Bryan, a popstar just barely getting his career off the ground, checks in at the lodge. Morgan is instantly drawn to him, but dating guests is strictly forbidden. Yet, she can't help feeling attracted to him. Lucas feels the same as the two of them hit it off.
But falling for Lucas is crazy when whatever she is feeling will be temporary. Lucas will be gone after a week, and will go right back to touring. Lucas wants her to come along with him, to get out of the small town Northern Lake she had grown up in. How can she leave when she has a lodge to run? Will being with Lucas help her to move on from her parents' death, and to explore the world a little more? Or would her grandfather's medical emergency stop her from leaving the lodge?
