Any Trope But You : THE spicy romance of 2025...

Sometimes, you just have to lean into the tropes...

<p>Popular romance author Margot Bradley has a secret: she doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, not even for her characters. When a super-fan leaks this to the world, Margot is dropped faster than you can say 'enemies-to-lovers.'<br><br>Her sister thinks she needs a change of scene and sends Margot off to a remote Alaskan cabin on a writing retreat that could be the perfect chance to say goodbye to romcoms and write something new - maybe swap meet-cutes for murder mysteries? But then she meets the handsome owner, Forrest:<br><br>She's a <b>city girl</b>; he's a <b>lumberjack</b> - of course he is.<br>He's <b>grumpy</b> - wait, is she <b>sunshine</b>? Oh no.<br>At least there's no f<b>orced proximity</b>.<br>But that snowstorm <i>is</i> heading straight for their cabin...<br><br>As one trope after another draws them together over long snowy nights, one thing is clear: Margot and Forrest have landed in a romance novel of their very own. But will they each be able to overcome their fears, or risk becoming another of Margot's Happily Never Afters themselves...</p>
