âMcCoy Doesnât miss a romantic beat in her swoonworthy sophomore rom-com.â âPublishers Weekly, Starred Review
A heart-pounding, curvy romance about an indie bookstore owner who finds herself in a love triangle when she meets the author she's had a crush on for years...and his best friend.
Zora has committed every inch of her life to establishing her thriving DC bookstore, making it into a pillar of the community, and she just hasnât had time for romance. But when a mystery author sheâs been crushing on for years agrees to have an event at her store, she starts to rethink her priorities. Lawrence is every bit as charming as she imagined, even if his understanding of his own books seems just a bit shallow. When he asks her out after his reading, sheâs almost elated enough to forget about the grumpy guy who sat next to her making snide comments all evening. Apparently the grouch is Lawrenceâs best friend, Reid, but she canât imagine what kind of friendship that must be. They couldnât be more different.
But as she starts seeing Lawrence, and spending more and more time with Reid, Zora finds first impressions can be deceiving. Reid is smart and thoughtfulâheâs also interested. After years of avoiding dating, she suddenly has two handsome men competing for her affection. But even as she struggles to choose between them, she canât shake the feeling that theyâre both hiding somethingâa mystery sheâs determined to solve before she can find her HEA.
