BOOK LOVERS

One summer. Two enemies. A twist they never expected…

Nora Stephens is all about books—she’s devoured them all—but she’s far from your typical heroine. She’s not the spirited underdog, the easygoing dreamer, or the girl next door. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine to are her clients, for whom she clinches major deals as a ruthless literary agent, and her cherished little sister, Libby. So when Libby insists on a sisters’ getaway to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, for the month of August, Nora reluctantly agrees—Libby is convinced it’s exactly what Nora needs to become the star of her own story. 

But instead of quaint small-town charm, picturesque picnics, or serendipitous encounters with a ruggedly handsome doctor or a charismatic bartender, Nora keeps running into Charlie Lastra—a brooding, bookish editor from the city. What should have been a meet-cute turns awkward, especially since they've met before, and it was anything but cute. Nora may not see herself as a classic heroine, and Charlie certainly doesn’t fit the mold of a hero, but as fate keeps throwing them together in ways even the most seasoned editor wouldn’t believe, they begin to unravel the carefully constructed narratives they’ve built around their lives.
