We Fell in Love Between Chapters

We Fell in Love Between Chapters When developmental editor Aveny Rusk comes home to Belrow for her mentor's funeral, she doesn't expect to inherit half a bookshop — or to share that inheritance with Thalen Merrow, the bookbinder she spent twelve years trying to forget. To save Margin House from a developer's wrecking ball, they have thirty days to finish their late mentor's secret manuscript together, under one roof, with one impossible catch: every story inside is real, and every person in it has to say yes. Forced proximity turns into flooded-archive rescues, storm-stranded nights, and a slow, aching realization neither of them saw coming . Then Aveny discovers the anonymous stranger who once mended her heart through secondhand books and margin notes was Thalen all along — and that their pasts are tangled in ways neither can undo. As deadlines close in and old wounds resurface, they'll have to choose between protecting each other in silence and trusting each other with the truth. A tender, small-town bookshop romance about second chances, found family, and the terrifying, beautiful risk of letting someone else write the ending with you. For readers who love forced proximity, one-bed nights, secret-admirer slow burns, and stories that heal as much as they swoon . 18+ recommended. Contains mature themes and open-door romantic content.
