Cabin Fever

A Northwoods Insta-Love Short Story

By: Millie Lake

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Mother Nature works her magic in this insta-love short story featuring a high-flying Chicago journalist and a mysterious woodsman...

Love wasn't supposed to be on the agenda.

Chicago journalist Olivia Blissen trades deadlines for snowlines when she agrees to write a piece about Wildwood Lodge. But what starts as a simple travel article turns complicated when she meets Ethan Williams — a former celebrity chef who now guards his privacy as fiercely as he does his solitary life in the mountains.

Trapped together by a raging blizzard, Olivia discovers the man behind the mysteries. Between steamy kitchen lessons and candlelit conversations, she realizes there's more simmering between them than just mutual attraction. But Ethan's got secrets, and Olivia's career depends on exposing exactly the kind of story he's been hiding from.

As the storm intensifies outside, so does the heat between them. Soon they're both breaking their own rules — hers about getting involved with a subject, his about letting anyone past his carefully constructed walls.

When the snow clears, they'll have to decide: walk away from what they've found, or risk everything for a chance at their own recipe for happiness.

Some storms are worth getting caught in.
