Synopsis
“He was a man dying of thirst in the desert. And I was the oasis.”
Calvin's quiet, orderly life is thrown into upheaval when he inherits a bookstore in Big Sur. Once a place famous for poetry readings and bohemian rebellion, the shop now teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. Desperate to keep the doors open on his grandfather's legacy, the broody new owner agrees to play host to a fashion shoot on the property.
But he never expected her.
With her long, blonde waves and perfect model body, Lucia is outgoing, wildly popular, and has her entire career mapped out. Women like her don't go for guys like him. But there's something magical and mesmerizing about an old book shop filled with famous love stories.
When a storm traps the entourage in town, these polar opposites can't fight their attraction anymore – and their flirting for the cameras becomes a night of unforgettable passion. She's unleashed something inside Calvin, and he's unlocking her desires one by one. Without the eyes of adoring fans and the endless notifications of Lucia's popularity, they explore a secret romance punctuated by starry skies and provocative poetry.
But a dirty-talking, bookish boyfriend has no place in Lucia's glamorous life. And the career she's worked so hard to build will never survive a permanent disappearance to a town without internet access.
Someone is going to get hurt.
Author's Note: Opposites attract when trapped together in this scorching hot standalone. One-click for a broody, bookish hero with a dirty mouth and a funny, gorgeous heroine starting to remember who she is outside the limelight. Romantic add-ons include a quirky small town, secret love poems, outdoor sexytimes on the California coast, and a happily ever after that will leave you smiling for days.
