All The Books I Read Before You

Aveline Hartley is soft-spoken, bookish, and perfectly content to stay unnoticed.

Will that be unchanged when a single encounter in the quietest corner of the library brings Lucien, the kind of boy who doesn't believe in distractions, into her life?

This is a story for the quiet girls. The slow burning ones. The ones who don't shout but who make even the coldest hearts listen.
Because sometimes, love doesn't explode.
Sometimes, it unfolds,
Page by page.

"I know," Lucien replied, eyes tracing her face like he was memorizing something he'd never admit aloud.

He leaned just a little closer.
"I like the way you look when I do," he answered, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek.
