Andrew (Reynolds) is her assistant, willing to accept everything she throws at him in the hope of becoming an editor one day. One day what she throws at him is an ultimatum to marry her as she needs to wed an American to prevent being deported back to her native Canada (she has been working on expired visa).

Margaret doesn’t think twice about exploiting even Andrew’s grandmother’s 90th birthday for her own ends, and they, not surprisingly, melt her with their full-on Alaskan warmth.

And guess how you know Margaret is a new woman? Yes, she starts letting her hair loose and wearing her shoes flat. As for Andrew — a man like that, ready to do her every bidding despite being loaded and all that, interested in books but able to hack wood and drive a motorboat when the situation demands, what does he need changing?
