One summer. Two rival bookshops. And the man on the other side of the wall.
Ava Jensen came home to Beachwood Bay to help with her mother’s bookshop and to recover after her life fell apart. She never meant to start a war.
Team Driftwood has beach reads, blue raspberry slushies, a judgmental cat with extra toes, and a teenage romantasy general with strong opinions. Team Second Chapter has classics, cheese plates, a golden retriever, and the worst coffee in Beachwood Bay. Unfortunately, Team Second Chapter also has John Winston.
Her first love. Her biggest heartbreak. The boy she trusted before one terrible night changed everything. Now he’s annoyingly kind, steady, and running the bookstore on the other side of the wall.
As the boardwalk chooses sides, old sparks turn into something Ava can’t keep ignoring. But falling for John again means deciding whether some stories deserve a second chapter… and whether the life she meant to manage temporarily might be the one she was meant to keep.
A funny, heartfelt beach-town romance with rival bookstores, second chances, meddling locals, chaotic pets, and love with a little sand between the pages.
Genre: General Fiction
