I read a work of fiction as a law student, returned it, and can't find it again... AHHH!

It was about two guys from London who quit their jobs at a marketing firm to take part in an Antarctic expedition, and take out a personal ad declaiming that they're looking for short term fun dates in the interim.

The main character's grandfather was an antarctic explorer, and his nurse ends up dating the main character.

Was it a paperback, maybe a Harlequin romance?

No, it was modern fiction with a heavy dose of comedy, it was the authors first book, and she was a british woman? Read it in 2004, and I've been trying to find it since.

Thanks, but no, it was a male POV by a female writer, which is why I think it stood out to the extent that it did. Thanks for your help though!

I checked with my home library this morning, and they couldn't come up with an author/title either after Googling and checking WorldCat and NoveList. Their suggestion is to check with Reader's Advisory at your own library, especially if this was a book from that library. Let me know if you find out!
