The Snowbound Bookshop - Paperback

by Brooke Skie (Author)

A Leafwood Falls Novella

Every book in the Leafwood Falls series can be read as a standalone.

She came into the bookshop because the door was unlocked and she needed somewhere away from her own thoughts. She didn't plan on being snowed in. She definitely didn't plan on him.

Lucy Hale photographs weddings for a living. She believes in the moment, that unrepeatable second when two people choose each other in front of everyone they love. Today, she drove four hours for couple number three hundred and thirteen and got a cancellation call at three-fifteen. She tells herself she's fine. She has been fine since approximately three twenty-five.

She is not fine, not by a long shot.

Josh Cavanaugh is a lawyer with a theory of why love fails. He is also fine. He's fine in the way of someone who's right about something and wishes he hadn't been.

When a Vermont blizzard locks them both inside Oak & Ink, Leafwood Falls' beloved bookshop, which has a habit of knowing what people need before they do, they have nothing in common except a cancelled wedding, a large opinionated cat named Hemingway, and one very long night ahead of them.

What follows is an argument about love, a marble run, a discovery that nobody knew about, a book that keeps finding its way into the wrong hands, and an increasingly hilarious group-chat of locals celebrating Mia Amazing's birthday next door at the Copper Kettle Cafe.

Josh has the evidence. Lucy has the photographs. The bookshop has already made up its mind.

The Snowbound Bookshop is a grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity romance about what happens when a man who knows how everything ends meets a woman who believes in beginnings, and neither of them can find the door.
