Book Lovers | Deluxe Edition | 🌶️ 🌶️

Two book lovers. One small town. And a love story neither of them saw coming.

Nora Stephens knows books. She knows deadlines, demanding authors, and exactly how to get things done. What she doesn’t have time for? Becoming the heroine of her own romance.

But when a getaway to a charming small town puts her face-to-face with Charlie Lastra, a brooding, sharp-tongued editor she’s crossed paths with before, the story starts taking an unexpected turn.

Between witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and moments that hit surprisingly close to the heart, Nora might discover that some of the best love stories aren’t found between the pages.
