The Bookstore by the Bay

After her husband died, Lily Manners rebuilt a safe, steady life on the quiet Oregon coast — her young daughter, her bookstore, and a world kept deliberately small. She has a reason to keep it that way: the charming, globe-trotting husband she mourned had been lying to her for years. Lily knows exactly what loving a wanderer costs, so she knows exactly how to handle Jack Fletcher. Jack is a travel writer, always halfway out the door, an editor forever calling him to the next beautiful place — everything she’s learned to fear. But he starts learning her shelves without being asked and hanging his photographs on her walls, and does the one thing she never expected: he keeps not leaving. Lily once loved a man who saw the whole world and never really saw her. Now she has to decide whether she’s brave enough to break her own rules.
