She knows his secret. He doesn't know he's already lost his heart.
Noah Calloway came to Wren Falls to hide from a deadline he can't meet and a grief he won't name. The quiet apartment above the bookshop was supposed to be temporary — a place to disappear until the words came back.
He didn't expect Ellie Voss.
Ellie knows exactly who Noah is. His literary agency rejected her novel three years ago with four cold, unsigned sentences — and ended her writing career before it began. Now the man behind those sentences is renting the room above her shop, leaving notes by her coffee maker, and somehow making her want to write again.
There's just one problem: Ellie has been quietly in love with an author for three years.
She just didn't know his real name.
As careful distance turns into something neither of them planned, the truth comes out — and it threatens to destroy the one thing that finally made both of them feel whole. Because some secrets can't be fixed with an apology. And some risks are only worth taking once.
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance set in the same charming small town as Book One — where second chances are written one chapter at a time.
Perfect for readers who love: ✓ Grumpy hero, sunshine heroine ✓ Small town bookshop setting ✓ Forced proximity / forbidden attraction ✓ Dual POV storytelling ✓ Slow burn with a swoon-worthy payoff ✓ Clean and wholesome romance — no explicit content ✓ Found family and found home
Get lost in Wren Falls today — where every chapter brings you closer to happily ever after.
If I have to read the sentence "I know" one more freaking time I'm ging to scream. This book kind of sucked. Started promising, liked the premise, but it fizzled out in endless too short sentences and infinite awkwardness. Creating a problem that's not even really a problem to create distance in a blossoming relationship. Suddenly there's a vet who brings a heavy box so she has to enlist him in carrying said heavy box. Which leads to a conversation that of course literally contains the sentence "I know" 5 times. I'm struggling.
