About this ebook
A bookshop, a boathouse, and a budding new romance . . .
When Sophie Bennett gets fired from her high-profile marketing job and dumped by her boyfriend for being “too boring,” she decides to take a risk—fueled by wine—and launches a crowdfunding campaign called “Help a Boring Girl Buy a Bookshop.” To her shock, what started as a joke goes viral, raising enough money for her to leave London and buy a rundown boathouse in the sleepy small town of Solace Springs, Washington, marking the start of her new chapter.
Local boatbuilder and professional grump Luke Rhodes has had it with outsiders coming to Solace Springs and disturbing his carefully cultivated quiet life. So when Sophie, his annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor, moves in with her endless optimism, relentless determination, and distracting curves, he wants nothing to do with her renovation project. Too bad fate—and the town residents—have other plans. As Luke gets roped into working with Sophie, he starts to find that cherry blossoms aren’t the only thing budding in town.
In the midst of clashes over paint samples and arguments over structural integrity, things start to heat up between the town local and the new resident. But just as Luke’s carefully constructed walls begin to crack, Sophie’s sudden viral fame threatens the tranquility of Solace Springs. They’ll have to decide if their unexpected connection will wilt away or bloom into something more.
