What to expect
'Booked for Summer had me grinning, swooning, and wishing I could move to Nantucket and save a bookstore of my own. Highly recommended for anyone who loves enemies-to-lovers, summer vibes, and a good dose of bookish magic.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A love story she didn't see coming…
When book lover Jade Taylor applies to manage the Little Bay Book Shack on Nantucket Island over the summer, the last thing she needs is the distraction of billionaire resort owner, Liam Haven.
But things take an unexpected turn when Liam becomes Jade’s boss – a man who reads nothing but contracts for pleasure…
In a bid to save the bookshop from being absorbed into the Haven resort, Jade is determined to teach Liam that there’s more to life than acquiring real estate. And if she can make him realise happily ever afters do exist, might she be able to save the island’s bookshop in the process?
