What to expect
A dedicated single mother and a librarian with a secret write their own sweet and sexy love story in this small-town rom-com about family, friendships and embracing the next chapter!
Fall in love one page at a time…
For Dani, life is a juggling act. As a single mum devoted to her son and family, she barely has a moment to herself. But when her sister announces she’s moving out, the ache of loneliness creeps in, and Dani can’t help but wonder if there’s something else she’s been missing.
Zoey came to Peach Blossom eager to start her new job as the town’s librarian and research her next book. She never expected to find inspiration in fellow book club member Dani, whose captivating brown eyes tell a story of their own. Before they know it, lingering glances over their favourite fiction turn into first dates and sizzling nights.
As their connection deepens, the two women must decide if they should turn the page on their past or if this thrilling plot twist is the happily-ever-after they’ve been chasing all along…
Nothing cures a lonely heart quite like a good book…and an unexpected crush
