This could be their greatest adventure yet...
A stressed-out translator on the brink of a meltdown and a thrill seeker with a serious case of wanderlust find love outside their comfort zones.
Up until a few months ago, Rheo Whitlock had it all. Stability, self-confidence and a safe job as an interpreter for the United Nations. It was the predictable sort of existence she, as a dedicated homebody, had always dreamed of - the security she'd needed thanks to her nomadic #vanlife upbringing. But ever since an unfortunate 'hot mic' moment threw her career into a tailspin, she's been struggling - really struggling - with fear, anxiety and uncertainty. A calculated escape is in order, and Rheo knows just the place: her grandmother's secluded hideaway in the breathtaking town of Gilmartin.
Except she won't be alone, thanks to a random twist of fate...
Fletcher Wright lives for adrenaline, always chasing the next high. So when he learns he'll have to share his rental accommodations with Rheo - a stranger, basically - he simply chalks it up to another challenge. It doesn't hurt that there's an immediate attraction between them, which neither can explain. Before long, they're not just sharing a house and new experiences - they're sharing a bed. But when it's time for Fletcher to move on to the next adventure, he and Rheo will both have to decide - are they ready to take the biggest risk of all
