She came back to save her bookshop.
She didn’t expect to fall for the man rebuilding it.
Nora has spent four years holding her life together—one book, one customer, one quiet morning at a time.
Then the ceiling collapses.
Forced out of her apartment and into the home of Cole Mercer—the infuriatingly calm, dangerously quiet architect who now owns her building—Nora finds herself living inside a story she never agreed to.
Thirty days.
One house.
And a deal that should have been simple.
But Cole fixes things.
Silently. Carefully. Completely.
And somewhere between shared mornings, lingering glances, and books exchanged like secrets…
Nora starts to realize that some stories don’t ask permission before they rewrite you.
Because falling for Cole Mercer?
That was never part of the plan.
And staying… might cost her everything.
A cozy small-town romance about quiet love, second chances, and the courage to choose where you belong.
Genre: Romance
