Nothing cures a lonely heart quite like a good book
and an unexpected crush…
For Dani, life is a juggling act. As a single mom devoted to her son and family, she barely has a moment to herself. But when her sister announces she’s moving out of the house, the ache of loneliness creeps in, and Dani can’t help but wonder if there’s something else she’s been missing in her life…

Yet she never expected to find inspiration in fellow book club member Dani, whose captivating brown eyes tell a story of their own. Before they know it, lingering glances over their favorite fiction turn into first dates and sizzling nights.
As their connection deepens, the two women must decide if they should turn the page on what their lives used to look like, or if this thrilling plot twist is the happily-ever-after they’ve been chasing all along.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lee's third Peach Blossom romance (after The Relationship Mechanic) offers up a cozy story about finding queer love in a small town. Bookworm Zoey moves to Peach Blossom, Ga., to take a job at the local library. Her desire to make friends inspires her to start a book club—which also provides a convenient excuse to get to know her library patron crush, Dani. A busy single mother and a nurse, Dani similarly loves literature and eagerly accepts Zoey's invitation, sparking a slow-burning connection. There aren't any clever conceits, plot twists, or even particularly high stakes, just a thorough exploration of the way these two characters interact. Their easy chemistry and obvious connection is a delight to discover and there's also lots to love in the supporting cast. Dani's charming multigenerational household feels realistic and lovingly drawn, and the light domestic drama on the edges of the main conflict adds needed depth to the central relationship. Readers seeking thrills should look elsewhere, but those open to a lower-key vibe will find this to be as sweet and comforting as a hug.
