She’s sworn off romance. But this summer, love might rewrite her story...

Single mum Carrie Worsley doesn’t need another disappointment — she needs a fresh start.

So when she’s offered the chance to run her great-aunt’s romance bookshop in the Cornish seaside town of Castle Cove, she packs up her six-year-old daughter and takes the leap.

Secret beaches. Golden sunsets. And The Happily Ever After Bookshop — a pastel-pink sanctuary filled with stories of second chances.

But it’s only temporary.

Until she meets Michael — the quiet, brooding, local bookbinder with kind eyes and an adorably chaotic dog!

Michael isn’t looking for forever. Carrie doesn’t believe in it anymore. But stolen glances turn into slow-burn tension. Friendly coffees become lingering touches. And suddenly the chemistry isn’t just fictional — it’s undeniable.

Between sea-salted evenings, cinnamon-scented mornings, and long afternoons lost among the shelves, Carrie begins to wonder...

What if this time, the love story is hers?

A heartwarming, small-town romance full of second chances, found family, and cosy bookshop vibes. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Harper Graham, Jo Bartlett, Ellie Henderson, Jessica Redland and Mandy Baggot.

Typical story. Nothing new learnt or felt. How many more stories of women growing a backbone are needed? How many more stories of deadbeat dads vs hero dads required? Sleepy book about a boring woman who is lucky enough to find a job managing a bookstore in a sleepy old country town of Britain..
