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.
