Fern Jones, a venerable and ambitious aspiring author from California, moves to England, determined on keeping her unsettling past on the pages of her journal, stumbles across Harry, a brooding and intolerant owner of a bookstore. Desperate to silence her inevitable thoughts, she latches onto him in the hopes he'd make her forget for that one night.
With Harry still engaged in old habits, and emotionally unavailable, Fern can't help but wonder just what hides beneath the surface of his barbarous ways and his inability to let people close to him. Only when her curiosity compels her into crossing Harry's boundaries- she realises Harry is more than just a bookstore owner, and much more fearsome than she would've ever imagined.
