She's sworn off romance.
But this summer, love might rewrite her story . . .
Single mum Carrie Worsley doesn't need another disappointment - she needs a fresh start.
So when she's offered the chance to run her great-aunt's romance bookshop in the Cornish seaside town of Castle Cove, she packs up her six-year-old daughter and takes the leap.
Secret beaches. Golden sunsets. And The Happily Ever After Bookshop - a pastel-pink sanctuary filled with stories of second chances.
But it's only temporary.
Until she meets Michael - the quiet, brooding, local bookbinder with kind eyes and an adorably chaotic dog!
Michael isn't looking for forever. Carrie doesn't believe in it anymore. But stolen glances turn into slow-burn tension. Friendly coffees become lingering touches. And suddenly the chemistry isn't just fictional - it's undeniable.
Between sea-salted evenings, cinnamon-scented mornings, and long afternoons lost among the shelves, Carrie begins to wonder . . .
What if this time, the love story is hers?
A heartwarming, small-town romance full of second chances, found family, and cosy bookshop vibes. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Harper Graham, Jo Bartlett, Ellie Henderson, Jessica Redland and Mandy Baggot
