Nora Hamilton has spent years writing love stories—but her own life is about to take an unexpected turn.

As a successful screenwriter for a romance channel, Nora knows exactly how happily-ever-afters are supposed to work. But when her seemingly perfect husband walks away, leaving her to raise their two children alone, she turns her heartbreak into inspiration and writes the most personal script of her career. To her surprise, the story becomes a hit and is adapted into a major film, with production taking place at her century-old farmhouse.

Then Hollywood’s former “Sexiest Man Alive,” Leo Vance, arrives to play the role of Nora’s unreliable ex-husband—and suddenly her carefully rebuilt world begins to shift.

After filming ends, Nora expects Leo to disappear with the rest of the crew. Instead, she finds him waiting on her porch with a bottle of tequila and an unusual request: he wants to stay at her home for one more week and will pay her generously for the privilege. The money would help Nora and her family, but it’s the vulnerability behind Leo’s request that convinces her to say yes.

Seven days. That’s all they have.

Seven days to discover something real. Seven days that could change everything—or leave them with broken hearts.

Warm, witty, and deeply heartfelt, Nora Goes Off Script is a love story about second chances, unexpected connections, and the messy reality of falling for someone when life, children, careers, and past wounds are all part of the equation. For Nora and Leo, the greatest love story isn’t the one written for the screen—it’s the one they create together.
