The logline seems to switch protagonists. First the focus is on the accountant. Then the focus switches to the actor. Who is the protagonist? Whose story line provides the unity of action to drive the plot?
If the accountant is the protagonist, then "get a break" is too vague to constitute an objective goal. Get a break for what? If the accountant is the protagonist, what is her specific objective goal?
Ditto if the actor is the protagonist: "fake a relationship" for what specific objective goal? "Stay on top " is a general goal, but loglines are about a specific, urgent objective goal.
What are the stakes in their relationship? That is, Who stands to win what if the protagonist (whoever he/she is) achieves his/her objective goal (whatever it is)? Who stands to lose what if he/she fails?

The logline switches focus as to who is the protagonist and what is the principal story line. It starts out about a bored accountant. Then it switches focus to a famous actor.
Who is the protagonist? Whose dramatic struggle provides the unity of action that drives the story, the accountant's or the actor's?
@ Vania - The short answer is the ski accident is essential because the inspiration behind this is the Sundance Film Festival, which is smack dab in the center of ski season. And the film festival atmosphere is integral to the plot for a number of reasons
Sounds like a good comedy! But I think it needs something that tells it apart from other movies. Also a question, why the ski accident is important? Could it be another accident?
It'd be even better if he was a total skeez telling people he saved her life, turning himself into a hero, snowballing the story further and further so she is literally thrust into it...before naturally realising he's a nice guy, falling for him - yada yada :)
