Description

About the Book:

A Novel Love Story is a charming and whimsical tale where fiction and reality blur in the most unexpected ways.

Eileen Merriweather, a literature professor, loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book, at home, which is why she’s determined to attend her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.

But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel… because it is.

This place can’t be real, and yet she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story.

Eileen is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth, and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book.

Which is a problem because Eileen is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

Join Eileen on a journey where reality and fiction collide, and discover whether she can find her own happily-ever-after in A Novel Love Story.
