One More Chapter : The Enemy Plot

My dream came true.

A man walked into my bookstore asking to buy some books. As a hopeless romantic who's been kissing plenty of grenouilles, I thought I might finally meet my prince charming.

Except it wasn’t Prince Charming - it was Deacon Collier, my neighbor and my personal nemesis.

Despite his smoldering looks and a narrator-worthy voice, he seems determined to get on my last nerve.

And when he tells me audiobooks don’t count as reading, I see red. Deacon has secured a top spot on my enemy list, and I’m not about to let him win.

But then there’s Lola, his grieving teenage niece with a serious book addiction. How can I turn my back on a fellow bookworm who needs guidance? So, I give her book recommendations, help with her French homework, and strive to be the role model she desperately needs.

The more time I spend with Lola and Deacon, the more I see past his gruff exterior to the sweet, cinnamon roll hidden underneath.

And when I come back defeated from yet another date, Deacon takes me on the ultimate bookish lover date, and I have no choice but to fall for him. Hard.

But there’s a catch : Deacon has personal issues to sort out and might not be ready for a serious relationship.

Could he be the prince I’ve been searching for, or will he end up shattering my heart?
