b"Nora's life is about to get a rewrite....\\n\\nNora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it's her job. But when her too-good-to-work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage's collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it's picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne'er do well husband, Nora's life will never be the same. \\n\\nThe morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He'll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it's the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it's the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart. \\n\\nFilled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story\\u2014the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids and the emotional baggage that comes with life. \\n\\nFor Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen."
