Booked For One: She wanted solitude. Fate booked someone else
BOOKED FOR ONE An Evergreen Bay Romance
She came to Maine to escape love. He came to hide from failure. Neither expected a small-town matchmaking conspiracy.
Amira Ellison's world shattered the day she found an engagement ring in her boyfriend's drawer, meant for someone else. Fleeing to a remote cottage in coastal Maine, all she wants is peace, solitude, and time to figure out what comes next.
But when she arrives at the supposedly empty rental, she finds the kitchen already occupied by a gorgeous chef making perfect coffee and even better breakfast.
Malik Carter lost everything when his D.C. restaurant failed. His dream, his savings, his trust in people, all gone. The Maine cottage was supposed to be his refuge, a place to disappear and lick his wounds in private.
Instead, he's sharing space with a woman whose laugh makes him remember what hope feels like.
Their rental agent insists it's just a booking mix-up, but the locals of Evergreen Bay seem awfully invested in making sure they stay. The coffee shop owner keeps creating "coincidental" encounters. The bookstore owner hints about the cottage's romantic history. And Mrs. Henderson? She's practically glowing with satisfaction every time she sees them together.
As storm clouds gather over the coast, Amira and Malik are trapped inside with nothing but time, undeniable chemistry, and the growing suspicion that their "accidental" meeting was anything but.
But can two people running from heartbreak risk loving again? Especially when the whole town is watching and plotting?
From the Booked for One is a closed-door romance celebrating authentic Black love in a charming small-town setting. If you love cozy Maine vibes, meddling neighbors, swoon-worthy cooking scenes, and the magic of second chances, this feel-good romance is for you.
First in the Evergreen Bay series - each book stands alone with interconnected characters.
