Desperate to salvage her career, Sadie accepts an invitation to hole up at her friend's beach duplex for the summer and devote herself to this confounding genre. After all, where better to witness love than on the beautiful South Carolina shore?

But Sadie soon finds many ways to procrastinate the dreaded task--like getting to know the beach regulars and installing a Little Free Library on the property. She even attempts conversation with Sam Ford, the frustratingly stubborn neighbor on the other side of the duplex. But things take an unexpected turn when Sadie finds inside her library an abandoned novel with a secret compartment--and a beautiful engagement ring tucked inside.

Suddenly, locating the ring's owner becomes the perfect way to put off writing that romance. Sadie draws a reluctant Sam into her mission. And as the two close in on an answer to the mysterious proposal, she discovers a tender side to him. She begins to wonder if he just might make the perfect hero for her romance novel--or maybe even her heart.

Perfect for fans of beachy settings, bookish heroines, and swoon-worthy heroes, this story will warm your heart and keep you turning pages late into the night.

A Story that warms you then you burst at the finish!!

Yes, a young love story, but kept me wanting to know how it all ends, a must finish for me. Then tears of joy for the couple in love. Thanks for the journey in life’s lessons.

Fun, light hearted read!

I just got through with a three book ‘edge of the seat’ suspense themed set and needed to unwind, and this book was perfect! Goes to show that you can have a ‘clean’ romantic novel with tons of fun and frills! No need for nudity and vulgar language! Totally heartwarming - full of romance, heart flutters and smiles! Will be reading more by this author!
