What to expect

Start a new chapter at the most enchanting bookshop in Paris 💕🇫🇷💫

A heartwarming bookish romance from the bestselling author of Summer at the Santorini Bookshop, Rebecca Raisin!

Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Eliza J. Scott and Lucy Score!

Coco is having a hell of a month. She’s lost her boyfriend and her business, been forced to uproot her daughter to move back in with her parents in Paris, and now an infuriatingly handsome stranger is yelling at her for acting like a tourist… Right underneath the Eiffel Tower.

Storming away from him – and swearing off men for life – she decides she’s going to take the first job that comes her way.

Then, as if fate hears her, later that day she stumbles into a little bookshop – but not any old bookshop. This one comes complete with a café, cocktail bar, reading room and secret tunnel of books, and just a little hint of magic in the air. So when Coco’s offered a job selling books there, it feels like the perfect fit.

There’s only one problem… propping up the bar in the bookshop is none other than the grumpy, gorgeous stranger she’d met earlier that day…

‘I have no idea how Rebecca Raisin does it, but she keeps writing enchanting heart-warming stories, that you never want to end… I would suggest curling up on the sofa, with a glass of something, and some chocolate (the French food descriptions will make you hungry!), and just escape into this wonderful story.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
