Book Lovers is a romcom with bite; equal parts enemies-to-lovers tension, sibling bonding, emotional growth, and sharp wit.

Nora is a high-powered literary agent who’s read all the tropes — and starred in none of them. She’s not the laidback heroine who gives up city life for small-town charm. But when she agrees to a summer getaway with her sister in rural North Carolina, she keeps bumping into Charlie, a grumpy editor she already knows too well...

About the book

Nora Stephens is the opposite of your typical romance lead, career-focused, tough, and a self-confessed ice queen of New York publishing. When her sister Libby persuades her to spend a month in Sunshine Falls, Nora expects a few awkward small-town moments and a chance to relax.

Instead, she finds herself repeatedly bumping into Charlie Lastra — an equally sharp, equally jaded editor she knows from the city. What unfolds is both expected (banter! chemistry! swoon!) and completely surprising.

But this book isn’t just about love, it’s about ambition, family, grief, and who we become when we stop trying to live out someone else’s story.
