Overview

As a bookstore owner, Faith Conner has created a sanctuary where every volume has its assigned place and emotions remain as carefully filed away as her first editions. After a heartbreak that nearly destroyed her, Faith has chosen caution as her religion and distance as her shield.

Ruby Carter is chaos, light, and unfiltered authenticity. As a rising star in the BookTube world, she transforms each book into a shared experience and every review into an invitation to intimacy.

Her proposal for a professional collaboration is commercially irresistible, but personally terrifying for Faith, who sees in Ruby the danger of everything she has avoided: spontaneity, exposure, and the devastating possibility of feeling again.

For Ruby, Faith represents the enigma she yearns to decipher; for Faith, Ruby is the temptation to abandon a life script that has become too rigid. What neither expects is that their differences, instead of separating them, create a unique language that only they understand.

Sometimes, the deepest loves begin with a literary recommendation and the courage to turn to the next page.
