This is the story of how Emily Albert met Oliver Dobson in a bookstore. The two bibliophiles collided amidst the shelves of unturned pages, and from there it’s really just another textbook romance. Emily is an introvert who isn’t very good at talking. Oliver happens to be a rather skilled conversationalist. Emily has had enough with boys. Oliver is willing to try and convince her that not all boys are the same. With their mutual love of books, the two begin one of the oddest friendships ever formed. And through it, the truth about books and boys is uncovered once and for all.

After her relationship publicly explodes, physiotherapist Lucy MacKinley decides that the mature way to handle it is to run away from home. But in the remote town she's fled to, she finds that British heartthrob Frederick Asherton is not only filming a movie in town, he's landed himself on her exam table. Frederick is charmed by Lucy's "adorkable" combination of shyness and spirit, and affection quickly turns to unstoppable desire. But when the relationship gets serious, can Lucy stand living in the public eye, even if Frederick gets down on his knee and begs her to share his life? **NOTE: This story is intended for readers 18+ as it contains sexual content intended for adult audiences** Another note: I started writing this story early in 2014. At that time, the movie mentioned in this story was still just a book. I thought I was writing about a movie that wasn't real. I'm leaving it, though, because there are some movie-related bits of my story that I really like. I hope you do too!
