What to expect

A decade after they said goodbye after graduation, old friends Harri and Annie reunite in the beautiful village of Clove Lore in Devon – what more could these bookworms want than a holiday running the tumbledown bookshop?

Unbeknownst to Annie, Harri is arriving with a bruised heart after the end of his long-term relationship, while Annie is running away from painful memories in Texas. Elsewhere in Clove Lore, the mysterious owner of Castle Lore has died, causing much gossip in the village.

When Harri and Annie are sent to investigate the huge gothic library, they find themselves locked in overnight and soon, are discovering their connection might be more than just good friends...

A gorgeously uplifting friends-to-lovers romance that will make your heart sing. Fans of Jenny Colgan, Trisha Ashley and Heidi Swain will adore this.
