Harlow Deyes is living her dream as the owner of Love by the Book, a bookstore dedicated to only selling romance novels. Unfortunately, business hasn’t been great lately, but her personal life is looking up when a customer becomes a friend…and possibly more if she plays her cards right.

Brent Rusza’s been publishing romance novels under a woman’s pen name for years, but he’s tired of hiding the kinds of books he writes. As he grows closer to Harlow, he reveals his true identity to her and decides to hold an in-person signing at her store to help boost sales. While he’s nervous about the risk he’s taking, he’s sure coming clean will be worth it in the end.

The more time they spend together, the more sparks fly between Harlow and Brent, even when Brent confesses he’s demisexual. As feelings deepen and attraction flourishes, they must decide if their love story will end in heartbreak or happily ever after.
