Description

A deliciously bookish romance about finding what you need in the place you least expect...

'I loved this book! Books about books are one of my favourite things. The second-chance romance was very sweet and I loved their chemistry!' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'I absolutely adored this book, it's very Emily Henry-esque so you can't really go wrong! Declan is a perfect grumpy/sunshine MMC... A funny, slow burn, semi-enemy to lovers book' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Such a cute romance especially for bookish readers. I highly enjoyed the chemistry... This would make such a fun movie' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

What if a gorgeous, grumpy author dedicated his new bestseller to the stranger who inspired him - and that stranger was you...?

Clarrie Brooks isn't just having a bad day - her life seems to be falling apart. She's struggling to keep her beloved grandmother's bookshop afloat, her boyfriend has just dumped her, and now it's, quite literally, raining inside her run-down apartment.

To top it off, the bookshop loses power for the tenth time this week... just as new author Declan Archer walks in to sign stock. Declan advises Clarrie to invest in better lighting. Clarrie suggests to him that he write a better book...

Two years later, Declan's new book is on its way to becoming a bestselling cult classic - and he's dedicated it to the bookseller who told him to write a better one. As speculation builds over the identity of the bookseller, Clarrie finds herself thrown into the spotlight. Could it be time to open her heart and draft a brand-new love story?
