About this ebook
'Funny and delightful' - Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author
***
Lucy Bowen has sworn off love.
After too many failed relationships, she's over the fairytale – but working at NYC's biggest romance publisher, Heartwarming, means she can't escape it. When the company's bestselling author, Ruby Jones, threatens to leave due to dwindling sales (and a complete lack of inspiration), Lucy's boss takes drastic action.
Her new assignment? Go to a small lakeside town and find the spark for Ruby's next big love story.
Lucy expects picture-perfect charm, but the town – and its grumpy yet extremely attractive restaurant owner, Liam – have other ideas. He's skeptical of city folk, and she has zero interest in falling for a small-town cliché. But rom-com rule number one? Love finds you when you least expect it...
