She was never meant to fall for the hockey player next door. But sometimes, the heart writes its own story.
After a brutal betrayal, Annabelle Lewis leaves Tennessee behind to open a cozy bookstore and cat sanctuary on the Washington coast. She's curvy, anxious, and fiercely determined to start over-even if she's convinced no one will ever love her for who she truly is.
Then she crashes-literally-into Ryan Carter.
At 6'7", hockey star and local heartthrob Ryan is used to attention. But nothing prepares him for the woman with wild red waves, a runaway dog, and eyes like the forest. She's sunshine wrapped in self-doubt... and he's instantly hooked.
He wants to know her. Help her. Worship her.
A heart-melting, spicy slow burn packed with swoony banter, soft cinnamon-roll heroes, and a heroine learning to love herself as fiercely as she loves him.
Perfect for fans of curvy girl romance, grumpy-sunshine dynamics, and emotionally healing love stories.

But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care.

But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad.
