Hazel moved to New York with nothing but a suitcase full of romance novels and a dream: open a bookstore where anyone could feel at home. What she didn't expect was the tall, quiet man who kept slipping in when no one else was around-never speaking, barely looking up, but always reading.
Bob Reynolds doesn't go on missions anymore. Not since the Void. While the rest of his team saves the world, he finds refuge across the street in Hazel's little bookstore-library-coffee shop hybrid. She doesn't ask questions. She doesn't treat him like a weapon. She just smiles, offers him coffee, and lets him read.
Hazel reads every kind of romance-sweet, spicy, dark, unhinged-and has no filter when it comes to sharing her thoughts. Bob, all awkward silence and haunted eyes, doesn't know what to make of her... only that she feels safe. Familiar. Like the kind of story that might not end in tragedy.
But when a friendship begins to bloom between the quietest man in New York and the girl with a head full of tropes, things take a turn neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the best love stories begin in the quietest corners-between two people who never thought they'd get one.
