Synopsis
Sophie Lawson should be enjoying her sister’s wedding day. But nothing could have prepared her to see the best man again.
After her mother became bedridden and her father bailed on the family, Sophie found herself serving as a second mother to her twin brother, Seth, and younger sister, Jenna. Sophie supported her siblings through their college years, putting aside her own dream of opening a bookshop in Piper’s Cove—the quaint North Carolina beach town they frequented as children.
Now it’s finally time for Sophie to follow her own pursuits. Seth has a new job, and Jenna is set to marry her college beau in Piper’s Cove. But the destination wedding reunites Sophie with best man Aiden Maddox, her high school sweetheart who left her without a backward glance.
When an advancing hurricane strands Aiden in Piper’s Cove after the wedding, he finds the hotels booked to capacity and has to ask Sophie to put him up until the storm passes. As the two ride out the weather, old feelings rise to the surface. The delay also leaves Sophie with mere days to get her bookshop up and running. Can she trust Aiden to stick around? And will he find the courage to risk his heart?

Sophie is finally at the finish line of realizing her dream of owning a bookstore in Piper’s Cove when her two grown, but overly dependent siblings and father, a hurricane and Aiden, the high school sweetheart who broke her heart, almost sets her back. Sophie and Aiden both harbor fears of people they love leaving them. Sophie compensates by not implementing boundaries with her twin brother and sister, who she cared for after their mother died and their father took off. And Aiden runs when his relationships are challenged. But overall, they are two good, hardworking people who need a second chance as they have never stopped caring for each other. Bookshop by the Sea is charming small town romance, although there were not really any beach vibes (what, with them being by the sea).
