Our Chapter

He runs empires. She writes love stories. He's read every one of hers-without ever knowing her face.

Reagan Alexander Reed isn't exactly the hearts-and-flowers type. He's London's youngest billionaire, fluent in boardrooms and bulletproof exits. But what his perfectly pressed suits don't show? He's secretly addicted to romance novels. Especially hers.

Alicia Marionette Thorne has made a name-just not a face-for herself as the queen of romance. No interviews. No appearances. Just words that wreck people quietly.

But everything flips the morning Reagan walks into his favorite Notting Hill bookstore, en route to a 7AM meeting, only to see a banner: Alicia Marionette Thorne-Signing Today.

He doesn't believe in fate.
Until he sees her.
And just like that-he's gone.

Set in the charming streets of London, where early mornings brew into once-in-a-lifetime moments, this is a story of soft unravelings. Of strangers who were never really strangers. Of one man's secret love for the author who unknowingly wrote his heart-and the moment he finally meets her.

Because some stories don't start with fireworks.
Some start with a name on a page... and the woman behind it..
