He built walls. She brought sunshine. Something had to give.

Eliza Quinn is running—from grief, from memories, from a hometown that holds too much pain. When her mother's illness pulls her back to charming Jonathon Island, she tells herself it's temporary. Help with the family. Don't get attached. Don't stay.

Then she meets Oliver Sullivan.

The brooding bookstore owner hasn't smiled since his wife died. His shop is failing. His heart is frozen. He doesn't need a partner, and he definitely doesn't need the sunshine-bright marketing whiz who keeps throwing open his curtains and filling his quiet world with chaos.

Except... maybe he does.

Forced to work together on a literary festival to save the bookstore, Eliza and Oliver discover that their differences might be exactly what they both need. She brings light to his shadows. He gives her a reason to stay. Between late nights and early morning arguments, something unexpected begins to bloom.

But trust doesn't come easy for two people who've been hurt. And one misunderstanding could destroy everything—including their chance at love.

Find Me in the Story is a heartwarming grumpy-sunshine romance about healing, second chances, and discovering that the best chapter of your life might be the one you never planned to write. Perfect for fans of Denise Hunter, Becky Wade, and cozy Hallmark movies.
