Lucky Girl: Shelf-Life of a Single Woman

Lucky Girl: Shelf-Life of a Single Woman

She's given up on love. He's about to rewrite her story. After a lifetime of romantic letdowns—including a father who vanished like a plot twist and a fiancé who turned “I do” into “I... don’t think so” less than a year ago — Stella Duprey has officially sworn off men. Her heart is now strictly reserved for her one true love: Between the Covers , the cozy bookshop she owns, where the romance and fairytale happy endings stay tucked between the pages. She’s built a peaceful, man-free life surrounded by her loyal inner circle: her stoic mom and supportive sister, her brutally honest neighbor-turned-bestie, and her one employee, Gina, who’s brilliant, devoted, and only slightly terrifying when caffeinated. Stella is happily hiding from love behind towers of beloved novels—until Theo Steele walks in. A local firefighter with a habit of rescuing kittens and people, Theo is inconveniently attractive and dangerously...nice. Worst of all, he seems determined to help Stella believe in happily-ever-afters again. Now Stella must choose: stick with the safety of her book-bound world, or let Theo — and possibly love — burn down the walls she's built around her heart.
